Urban tower

Here you can see a part of The Urban tower which is one of our most popular gothic builings here, in Kosice.

The St. Urban Tower is originally a Gothic prismatic campanile with a pyramidal roof. It was erected in the 14th century.
A church bell installed in the tower has been dedicated to Saint Urban, the patron of vine-dressers.

In 1966 the tower was damaged by fire and the St. Urban Bell was destroyed as well.
The original bell Urban was assembled from fragments and from 1989 is issued before the tower.

The walls of the tower is built 36 tombstones dating from the period 14th to 15 century (one of the cornerstones of Rome in the 4th century).
 
Today, there is a unique wax museum exhibition in the tower.
