We visited today and greatly enjoyed visiting the memorial to a turning point battle in the war for liberation. We were very lucky to run into a very friendly and knowledgeable grounds keeper who took the time to answer our questions. If you are looking for Lord Byron, you will not find his heart (it is indeed in England) but you will indeed find internal organs buried where Byron wanted to be buried. His statue is between the memorial for the mass grave of soldiers and the powerful memorial to a man showing his grieving daughter. The park is free and is built where a fort was with very small remnants left. Definitely a place to see!
