Ottoman dervish lodge unearthed in Hungary

The search is on to find the remains of Süleyman The Magnificent in Hungary but instead a team of Turkish and Hungarian researchers came across an Ottoman dervish lodge destroyed centuries ago.

The researchers found the dervish lodge next to a mosque that was destroyed in 1692, more than one century after Süleyman died in Szigetvar, Hungary.

Norbert Pap from Pecs University, who leads the Hungarian team of researchers, said they were close to finding the remains of Suleiman with this new discovery, pointing out that the tomb where the sultan's organs were buried they expected to find, should be located next to a mosque and a lodge according to tradition.
