St. Urban Tower (Urbanova veža), originally a Gothic prismatic campanile with a pyramidal roof erected on the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, is located close to the St. Elizabeth Cathedral in the heart of Košice historic city centre.
The bell originally installed in the tower, dedicated to patron of vine-dressers St. Urban, was cast by the bellfounder Franciscus Illenfeld of Olomouc in 1557. The tower was reconstructed several times during 600 years of its existence. The Baroque onion with cross was added in 1775, the arcade at the tower's base was added after removal of old shops surrounding it in 1912. The tower was damaged and original St. Urban bell was destroyed by fire in 1966 - the tower was subsequently reconstructed in 1971. The 45 m high tower nowadays serves as the only museum of wax figurines in Slovakia, devoted to personalities connected with city' and East-Slovakian region rich history.
