Monument to Zrinyi Miklós and Suleiman the Magnificent

This is located on the grounds of the Turkish-Hungarian Friendship Park, where Zrinyi led his forces into battle with the Ottomans. Suleiman died here, and there is a replica of his tomb as well. There is a Catholic church nearby that was originally built as a tomb for the sultan, but it is said that only his heart remains in Hungary as the rest of his remains were exhumed and returned to Turkey.
