What you'll see
A slim stone tower about 40 m tall standing on its own among houses. A very narrow spiral stair of about a hundred steps leads to a tiny balcony with views over the town.
A brief history
It's left from the Ottoman years, when Eger was held by the Turks for nearly a century from 1596; the mosque it belonged to is long gone.
