The castle of Szigetvár is famous for the siege laid against it by the Turks in 1566, and for the captain of the Hungarian defenders, Count Miklós Zrínyi. The Turks commemorated their victory by erecting the Suliman Mosque with a minaret. A huge monument erected outside the town also commemorates this historical event. In the memorial park laid out in 1996 and financed by the Turkish state, statues of the two erstwhile foes, Sultan Suliman II and Miklós Zrínyi, face one another.

The village of Babócsa in southern Somogy lies some eight kilometres from the river Dráva. Chronicles first mention the Castle of Babócsa in 1450. In 1555 the Turks captured it without siege, by treason. lts structure is a telling exarnple of the characteristics of fortresses built in Turkish-occupied Hungary in the 16^th-17t^h centuries.
