Egri minaret

Eger, Italy

Egri minaret

The northernmost medieval minaret in Europe (i.e., ''the'' northernmost one except those built by immigrant communities in the last decades) and the tallest in Hungary (the other two are in Pécs and '''Érd''') the minaret is a 42 meter high symbol of the Turkish occupation. It is 97 steps to the top

, but be warned, the climb up is in an incredibly enclosed space on uneven and slippery steps and there is little room to move around up top so those who are afraid of heights or tight places should just enjoy it from the outside. - Muezzin singing: August 17 th, 21 th, 22 th, 23 th, 28 th, 29 th and 30 th all at 17:00
