Szolnok Castle, Military fortress in Szolnok, Hungary.
The fortress stands at the meeting point of the Tisza and Zagyva rivers, featuring stone walls and defensive structures for military operations.
In 1552, Ottoman forces led by Pasha Ahmed Ali captured the castle from Hungarian defenders after a ten-day siege with 40,000 soldiers.
The castle represents Hungary's defense system during the Ottoman period, marking the boundary between European and Turkish territories in the 16th century.
Visitors can explore the remaining structures of the castle while learning about medieval Hungarian military architecture through informational displays.
The fortress contained a mixed garrison of Spanish, German, and Hungarian soldiers, reflecting the international nature of 16th-century military operations.
