It is assumed that the heart and the intestines of Sultan Suleiman were removed following his death and buried somewhere in Szigetvár before his embalmed corpse was taken back to the Empire's capital on a more-than-two-month-long trek.

Close to the spot where the heart of Sultan Suleiman is thought to be buried, a friendship park was established on the 500th anniversary of Sultan Suleiman’s birth upon the initiative and with the subsidy of the Republic of Turkey.
The park was jointly inaugurated by Hungarian Minister of Education Gábor Fodor and Turkish President Süleyman Demirel in September 1994.

The friendship park is situated about 2–3 km (1.2–1.9 mi) northeast of the town on the left-hand side of the road to Kaposvár and is accessible by bus.
The park measures about 60 m × 60 m (200 ft × 200 ft) in dimensions making an area of around 1 acre (4,000 m²).
Open to visitors all year long, the park has a triumphal arch-like gate and is walled by a waist-high oriental ornamented fence.
6.50 m (21.3 ft) high monumental head statues of the military rivals Nikola IV Zrinski and Sultan Suleiman, who died at the site, are erected side by side on shared plinth in the centre of the park.
The sculptures in bronze, created by Turkish sculptor Metin Yurdanur, and the marbles were given by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The construction cost about HUF 60 million (approx.
US$269,000).
The park area itself is leased to the Turkish government for a symbolic annual rental price of HUF 1 for a time span of 99 years, beginning 1994.

In 1996, a drinking fountain in Ottoman architectural style was built in the park with its tiles and marbles sent from Turkey.
The park includes also a symbolic grave for Sultan Suleiman's intestines, a symbolic marble türbe, big sculptures of Szigetvár's coat of arms and the tughra of Sultan Suleiman.
