In the lower suburb of Eger Castle, today there is the city hospital at 38 Széchenyi István Street and the church built adjacent to the hospital. The Church of St. Anna was built in 1731 using the body walls of a mosque whose name we do not know. The church is precisely in the direction of the Qibla; The building is entered from the east side of the old mosque. Evliya Celebi reports Memi Aga Mosque, Carsi Mosque, Salih Efendi Mosque, Benli Ahmet Aga Mosque, Alabeyi Mosque, Yeni Zaim Mosque, Kasim Pasa Mosque, and Pazaryeri mosque and Mehmet Han Mosque, which was converted from a church in the suburb of Egre, as Mosques, where Friday Prayers took place. We do not know which of these mosques is now the St. Anna's Church.
