Eger
The town is situated in the beautiful valley of the Eger stream, at an altitude of 170 m. With its green rolling hills, it offers a splendid view. The most beautiful part of Eger is the large square with the metropolitan cathedral. This large, cross-shaped, three-naved building (designed by József Hild in the Greek style) counts among the biggest cathedrals in Hungary.
Eger is one of the oldest towns of the country: King Stephen I (Saint Stephen) established a diocese here. Provost Cletus, the chancellor of King Andrew II, settled the first Franciscans in the region, from where they later spread to the rest of the kingdom. The Tatars completely destroyed the town, but it was rebuilt during the reign of Béla IV. In 1552 István Dobó and the heroic women of Eger withstood the siege of the Turks led by Ali Pasha and Vizier Ahmed, and thus liberated the town.
