VozokanskĂ˝ lev. V roku 1652 sa nad VelkĂ˝mi Vozokanmi odohrala krutá bitka medzi Turkami a krestanskĂ˝m vojskom, ktorĂ©ho hlavnĂ˝m kapitánom bol grĂłf Adam Forgác, novozámockĂ˝ hradnĂ˝ kapitán. Bitka trvala 2 dni, prvĂ˝ den vo vecernĂ˝ch hodinách padli v boji štyria Esterháziovci.Pochovali ich 26. novembra 1652 v krypte Univerzitneho kostola v Trnave. Na ich pocest dal ostrihomskĂ˝ velprepošt Imrich Esterházi v roku 1734 postavit kamennĂ˝ pomnĂk. KedĹľe zub casu postupne znicil kamennĂ˝ pomnĂk, rozhodla sa rodina Esterháziovcov postavit novĂ˝, velkolepejšĂ, ktorĂ˝ mal pripomĂnat tĂşto tragĂ©diu rodu Esterháziovcov. A tak v roku 1896 postavila rodina novĂ˝ mramorovĂ˝ pomnĂk, na ktorom sa hrdo vypĂna bronzovĂ˝ lev otocenĂ˝ v smere bitky a drviaci tureckĂş zástavu, ktorá sa tam v sĂşcasnosti uĹľ nenachádza. VozokanskĂ˝ lev je jedinou monumentálnou pamiatkou z obdobia protitureckĂ˝ch bojov na Slovensku. Dodnes pripomĂna prvĂş vĂtaznĂş bitku nad Turkami na našom ĂşzemĂ
