The Ottomans had control of Eger from 1596 to 1687, and during this period they built ten minarets in the city, of which only one survives today.
This 40-metre red sandstone tower stands by the Church of St Sebastian, the site of a former mosque, and dates to the beginning of the 17th century.
It is one of only three surviving minarets from the Ottoman period and is the northernmost Turkish minaret in Europe.
