Eger - Dobó István tér

The market place below the castle, named after the legendary leader Dobó István, forms the center of the town of Eger. After walking through the narrow lanes of the Old Town the visitor will be surprised by the scale of the market place, with its harmonious mix of beautifully renovated town houses and the impressive parish church of St Anthony. The group of figures in front of the church, the work of Zsigmond Stróbl, is in memory of the defender of the castles on the south Hungarian border, while the statue of Dobó István by Alajos Stróbl (1906) adorns that side of the market place which faces the castle.
