Fleeing the Ottoman Turks, the Serbian refugees took the body of their national hero, Prince (Tsar) Lazar Hrebeljanović. He was killed in the battle of Kosovo at war with the Ottoman Sultan in 1389. The Serbs settled in Szentendre buried it in a church built later, in 1690, and took it with them when they returned to Serbia. The location where these relics had been hidden has been marked with a cross since 1778.
