Eger Castle, located in Eger, Hungary, is a historic fortress that played a crucial role in the country's defense against Ottoman invasion in the 16th century. Built in the 13th century, the castle is renowned for the heroic defense led by Captain István Dobó and his small garrison during the Siege of Eger in 1552, where they successfully repelled a much larger Ottoman force. Today, the castle houses a museum that showcases a collection of artifacts, historical exhibits, and offers panoramic views of the town of Eger.
