Abstract :Researchers have been searching for the türbe (tomb) of Suleiman the Magnificent in Szigetvár, Hungary for over 110 years. Although scholars from a variety of disciplines have published numerous works on the subject, their meth- odologies have been limited to those established before 2013. In the last several years, newer multidisciplinary examinations have been conducted and as a result, the former examination sites (i.e., locations along the Almás stream and the Blessed Virgin Mary church in Turbék) were abandoned and a new location identified. This paper gives an overview of the principal findings over the last 110 years, highlighting contradictions and interpreting the geographical descriptions of these sources.Keywords : Ottoman, Suleiman the Magnificent, Türbe, Szigetvár, Turbék, Landscape, Reconstruction, Geoarchelogy
