An event horizon is the boundary beyond which nothing can escape. For
sufficiently large black holes, an observer could cross its event
horizon without any ill effects. So it's just a region of spacetime,
not a physical surface.
Some define a black hole's surface as the event horizon, but there
remains whatever is inside a black hole, about which nobody knows.
One speculation is that all the mass and energy of a black hole is
compressed in a singularity, an infinitely dense point of spacetime.
OTOH QM rules exclude singularities. OTGH QM rules might not apply
beyond an event horizon.

The internal temperature of a black hole with the mass of our Sun is around one-millionth of a degree above absolute zero. Just outside the hole, however, the material being pulled into the hole’s gravity well is accelerated to near the speed of light. The molecules of the material collide with such vigour that it is heated up to a temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees."
