The Serbian and Greek families having fled the Turks and settled in Eger in the 17th c. had the late Baroque Greek Orthodox, or Serbian church built. Its wall of icons rich in carvings and and gold plating make the church one of the nicest ones in Hungary.
Eger is one of the most beautiful Baroque cities in Hungary. The centuries-old architectural heritage, the ecclesiastical treasures, the wine culture, the thermal baths and numerous cultural events combine to make Eger the most significant tourist centre in Northern Hungary.
