Mohács Historic Memorial

In the quiet border country south of Mohács, not far from the town of Sátorhely, lies the 7ha (171/2 acre) National Park containing the Memorial to The Fallen in the Battle of 1526 (Mohácsi Történelmi Emlékhely). From Road 56 leading towards the border an avenue lined with chestnut trees goes off to the right and leads to the parking lot in front of the memorial.

The park, which was opened on August 29th 1976, the 450th anniversary of the battle, is on the spot where archaeologists have discovered the graves of some 150,000 dead; the memorial site was designed by György Vadász. Visitors enter the park through a bronze gate, and the road then leads to an atrium-like building where information boards document the story of the battle
