Introduction

The Main Square is Eger's beautiful, lively central square—surrounded by Baroque churches, hero statues and quaint buildings, the heart and living center of Eger's old city, exuding an elegant, cozy Baroque small-town charm. Eger's old-city Main Square (Dobo Square, named after the hero commander of the Eger defense, Dobo) sits at the center of the Baroque old city, the core and living center of this beautiful small town. The square is elegant and beautiful: around it stand elegant Baroque buildings, most striking being the ornate Baroque church on one side (the Minorite Church, with a symmetric twin-tower facade, exquisite and gorgeous, hailed as one of Hungary's most beautiful Baroque churches), solemn and magnificent; on the square stand statue groups commemorating the heroes of the Eger defense (such as commander Dobo and statues of defending soldiers, vividly recreating that moving history, showing Eger's heroic spirit). As the heart of the old city, the Main Square is also where Eger's citizens and visitors gather, rest and activity—open and pleasant, surrounded by cafes, restaurants (terrace seats extending onto the square) and shops; people stroll, sit, drink coffee leisurely, full of vivid, cozy Baroque small-town life (especially lively at dusk and festivals). Strolling or sitting in this beautiful square, admiring the ornate Baroque church and hero statues, feeling Eger's elegant, cozy small-town charm—pleasant and agreeable.
