Turbék was an Ottoman-established settlement from the 16th and 17th centuries. It was situated next to Szigetvár, Hungary. Today, its former territories belong to the town of Szigetvár. According to archaeological research, Turbék is the exact place where Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent died during the Siege of Szigetvár.{{cite web|url=http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2016/08/hungary-unearthing-suleiman-magnificent-tomb-160814120849950.html|title=Hungary: Unearthing Suleiman the Magnificent's tomb|publisher=Aljazeera|date=17 August 2016|accessdate=20 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://coinsweekly.com/index.php?pid=4&id=4110|title=Mausoleum of Suleiman the Magnificent's heart discovered|publisher=CoinsWeekly|date=2 June 2016|accessdate=20 February 2017}} A tomb (türbe) was built for Sultan Suleiman at the site where his body was kept for a short time and his heart and internal organs were reportedly buried. Later, a mosque, a dervish cloister, and a military barracks emerged around the tomb and the place became a Muslim pilgrimage site. However, in the 1680s the Habsburg troops destroyed the settlement of Turbék completely to erase any traces of the Ottomans, leaving behind stone foundations no more than 15 inches tall.
