At the time of the Turkish wars, the city was repeatedly attacked. In 1552, a small army (less than 2100 residents and soldiers under the leadership of István Dobó) was able to defend the city from a huge Ottoman superiority (described in the novel "Egri Csillagok/Stars of Eger" by Géza Gárdonyi). It was the first major defeat for the Turks, and Europe already breathed a sigh of relief.

However, in 1596 Eger was conquered and remained under Ottoman rule for 91 years. During this time, mosques and baths were built - the minaret, which is still preserved today, is considered the northernmost historical building of the Ottomans.

After the Turkish siege of Vienna, the Habsburgs succeeded in counterattacking and driving the Ottomans out of Central Europe. Under the leadership of Charles of Lorraine, Eger was reconquered in 1687 and by 1701 the Habsburg armies had conquered almost all of Hungary (Wikipedia).
