Om
Raske fakta: På torget ligger den 40 meter høye Minoritterkirken, hvis tvillingtårn dominerer Egers silhuett. En messingplakett markerer stedet der ungarske soldater avla en ed før slaget ved Eger i 1552 mot osmanske styrker.
Høydepunkter: Ser du ned på brosteinen, finner du en messing «skammestein» der personer anklaget for mindre lovbrudd en gang ble tvunget til å stå bundet til en stolpe. Om natten lyser torgets barokke bygninger i varm lampeskjær, og skaper følelsen av et friluftsmuseum som tilfeldigvis også er et levende bysentrum.
Insidertips
- Visit on a Saturday morning when the small farmers' market sets up next to the church for fresh local cheeses and crafts.
- The best photo angle is from the southeastern corner of the square, which captures both church towers and the column without crowds.
- Skip the horse-drawn carriage rides, they circle for 10 minutes and cost the same as a full lunch.
- If you see a brass bolt in the pavement near the church steps, that marks the medieval well that once supplied the entire square.
