Minorite Church of St. Anthony of Padua
Páduai Szent Antal-templom (Minorita templom)
A twin-towered Baroque church on Dobó Square, regarded as one of the finest Baroque churches in Central Europe.
The church was built between 1758 and 1773, and its twin-tower facade faces Dobó Square. Its design is often attributed to the Prague Baroque architect Dientzenhofer. Inside, an altarpiece depicts the life of St. Anthony of Padua, and the ceiling paintings are exquisite. Together with the statue on the square, it forms Eger's most photogenic view. Admission is generally free outside Mass times, and the facade looks lovely under evening lights.
