Dobó István Square
Dobó István tér
The central square of Eger's old town, surrounded by a statue of the hero who defended the castle, a Baroque Minorite church, and colourful townhouses.
Dobó István Square is the heart of the old town. It is home to a statue of Dobó, the commander who led the defence in 1552, along with a sculpture group of the defenders. Around the square are the town hall, Baroque buildings, and cafés, with the Eger River flowing alongside. From here it is a few minutes' walk to the castle, the minaret, or the cathedral along the pedestrian street. Open-air music events are held in summer, and in winter the Christmas market and lights create a festive mood. The square is open at all hours.
