Hungarian-Turkish Friendship Park, Memorial park in Csertő, Hungary
Description
This memorial park displays bronze portrait heads and monuments, framed by an ornamental eastern fence that defines the grounds. The grounds span about one acre with a triumphal arch-style entrance gate marking the approach.
History
This park commemorates the 1566 Battle of Szigetvár, when Ottoman forces under their leader took control of the fortress following a lengthy siege. That conflict marked a turning point in the region's history.
Culture
The sculptures depict leaders from both nations and serve as a visible reminder of the historical connection between Hungary and Turkey. Visitors can see how these two cultures are brought together in a single memorial space.
Practical
The park is located northeast of Szigetvár and remains open throughout the year for visitors. The grounds feature level pathways that make for easy walking and viewing of the monuments.
Did you know?
Within the grounds stands a symbolic grave said to hold the remains of a significant leader's internal organs. This makes the site an unusual memorial that goes beyond typical commemoration.
