Overview
Abdurrahman Abdi Pasha, the last governor of Buda, defended the city for two and a half months with 16,000 troops in the siege of 1686 and fell in one of the clashes, aged eighty according to the author. 1 The Hungarians placed a memorial stone with an inscription where he fell, on the Siyavuş Pasha (Anjou) Bastion of Buda Castle. 1
History
The stone was designed by Kálmán Zsille in 1926 after Turkish gravestones, with inscriptions in old and new Turkish and in Hungarian; its English text calls him the last governor of Buda in 145 years of Turkish rule, who died near this place on the afternoon of 2 September 1686 in the seventieth year of his life, “a heroic foe”. 1 The age it gives differs from the author's. 1 With his death Ottoman rule in Buda ended. 1
