The 17th-century Ottoman minaret in the heart of town, with a narrow spiral staircase to the balcony · 30 min

Eger's minaret is what remains of a mosque from the Ottoman period, in the 17th century, when the town was in Turkish hands after the fall of the castle in 1596. It is about 40 metres tall and has a cross at the top, placed after the reconquest. You can climb a very narrow spiral staircase to the balcony, from where you see the castle and the rooftops. It is at Knézich Károly utca 4, five minutes from Dobó Square. It is not for anyone who is claustrophobic.
