St Urban Tower

  Hlavná, 040 01 Staré Mesto      +421 55/623 25 34     more than a year ago
A mighty bastion in the very centre of Hlavna, the St Urban Tower started life as a Gothic bell tower way back in the 14th century, its bell dedicated to the patron of vine-dressers (a very important skill, to be sure). The tower is an intriguing piece of architecture, as much because of what it was as what it is, a hulking campanile that has seen all the good and the bad that has enveloped Košice over the centuries. The illustrations towards its roof are particularly interesting, and it remains an important landmark in the centre of the town.
