Szigetvár and its surroundings, which was the centre of heroic resistance to the Turks in 1566, has never been properly excavated. Dr. Norbert Pap from the University of Pécs, the leader of the latest research talks about their findings.
The research for finding the traces of the tomb (türbe) of sultan Suleiman in Szigetvár has been carried out since late 2012, with funding received from the Turkish government (through TIKA). Since September 2015, through the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund (OTKA), the state of Hungary has also supported the examinations.
