It is just a short walk from Dobó tér to the slender, 40m (130ft) high Minaret. This place of prayer is the most northerly Ottoman edifice in Europe and a reminder of almost 100 years of Turkish rule. The mosque which went with it was initially used as a church and then pulled down in the 19th C. Visitors are not allowed inside the minaret for technical reasons.
