Story · Eger Minaret
You're standing at the Eger minaret, a slender tower of red sandstone. Go ahead and look up: it rises forty metres. It's one of the northernmost minarets left in Europe from the days of Ottoman rule. Only three survive in all of Hungary, and this one is the tallest and the best preserved.
