EGER CASTLE
A medieval fortress dominating the entire town of Eger, this historic site occupies a strategic position.
The medieval fortress of Eger, built in the early 13thcentury , dominates the town from a strategic position. Over the centuries, it has undergone numerous transformations. In 1552, reinforced with towers, it played a crucial role in the siege by the Turks, who then occupied most of Hungary. Although greatly outnumbered, Eger's defenders became symbols of bravery and patriotism. Beneath the fortress lies a vast network of underground casemates, impressive to explore. Bring a little wool.
