Minaret in Érd
This minaret is the third largest minaret in the country, after Pécs and Eger. Located in the Ófalu or Old Town south of the train station, it is all that remains from the town’s once important place in the Ottoman Empire. The minaret was presumed to be built in the 16th century, but later it was proven that this minaret was built in the 17th century. The building itself is 23 meters high. The body has a polygonal layout with twelve angles. The lighting of the stairs is ensured by a series of small gaps built into the walls of the tower. Stepping out of the top door, oriented towards Mecca, we find a wonderful panorama of Ófalu, the Danube and the Beliczay Island.
