The turbeh (tomb) is located near the town of Szigetvár, director of the East-Mediterranean and Balkan Studies Centre and Pécs University Norbert Pap said in the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency’s Budapest office.
Before it can be established this is indeed the tomb of Suleiman, other buildings in the area will have to be excavated, Pap said. Suleiman the Magnificent conquered much of the Middle East, large parts of north Africa and most of Hungary. He oversaw the “Golden Age” of the Ottoman Empire in its artistic and architectural development. It is almost certain that part of the remains of 16th-century Ottoman Grand Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent have been discovered in a tomb in south-west Hungary, according to Hungarian and Turkish researchers.
