Great Synagogue in Miskolc

The Gothic Reformed Church of Avas is the oldest building in the centre of Miskolc. The construction of the church began in the 13th century in the Romanesque style. In 1544 the Turks set fire to the church, which was rebuilt from 1563 to 1569 and made Protestant. The Baroque mortuary in the south was built in 1760 and the neo-Gothic in the north in 1896.

The Eger Minaret, probably built at the beginning of the 17th century, is the northernmost Ottoman monument in Europe and the highest and best preserved of the three intact minarets in Hungary. During 91 years of Turkish rule, a total of ten minarets were erected in Eger, but only one remains. The mosque that was attached to the minaret was transformed into a Catholic church dedicated to St. Joseph after the Turkish domination, then into a hospital in the 18th century, and finally demolished in 1841. A church was built in its place.

The Church of St. Anthony of Padua, known as the Minorite Church, is the second-largest church in the city after the Cathedral. To the east is the former Minorite monastery, built between 1773 and 1975, and to the west is the town hall. The former monastery now houses St. Hedwig High School for girls. The rococo church was built between 1758 and 1767, probably according to the plans of the architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, although some attribute the artistic plans to Matthias Gerl.
