At the place of the Battle of Mohács on August 29 1526, the Memorial Park was opened in 1976, after archeological excavations. The park is a graveyard of more than 1700 soldiers. In the graveyard, wooden grave markers can be seen and the procession of the battle, reconstructed historically, can be followed until its tragic end.
The publicly known park of grave-signals became complete by the inauguration of the new and impressive reception building, which was opened in 2011.
The construction bears the shape of the Holy Crown of Hungary. The unconventional exhibition taking place inside is intended to make the Battle a concrete, tangible historical experience for all the visitors. Apart from viewing the contemporary archaeological findings, visitors can also watch a historical film made in three versions for three different age groups in HD quality.
The main attraction of the exhibition is the visualized battleground, where visitors can see themselves in contemporary clothes in a filmic, moving background. The four floors of the building also includes a coffeshop and a souvenir shop. On the dome-shaped upper floor is an outlook providing a nice view upon the sigh't petal-shaped, forestbordered graveyard.
Apart from the guided tour helping understand the symbols, guests can walk on the thematic part of the woods surrounding the graveyard, or to practise archery using authentic copies of Ottoman-era bows.
