Photographer’s Note

This is a memorial place to the battle of Muhi (11th April, 1241) between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Mongols. The memorial was designed by György Vadász. It's an artificial hill, a symbolical sepulchral mound with several wooden crosses. In the workshop you can see the whole memorial hill.
I would be pleased if you told me your opinions about the photo!

The Battle of Muhi, or Battle of the Sajó River, (on April 11, 1241) was the main battle between the Mongols and the Kingdom of Hungary during the Mongol invasion of Europe. It took place at Muhi, southwest of the Sajó River. After the invasion, Hungary lay in ruins. Nearly half of the inhabited places had been destroyed by the invading armies. Around a quarter of the population was lost, mostly in lowland areas, especially in the Alföld, where there were hardly any survivors; in the southern reaches of the Hungarian plain in the area now called the Banat, and in southern Transylvania.
