What happened at the Battle of Lepanto
The Battle of Lepanto was fought on October 7, 1571, between a coalition of Catholic states known as the Holy League, including Spain, Venice, and the Papal States, and the fleet of the Ottoman Empire, in the Gulf of Patras near the Greek coast. The Holy League fleet, commanded by Don John of Austria, destroyed or captured most of the Ottoman galleys, checking Ottoman naval expansion in the Mediterranean. Thousands died on both sides. Although the Ottomans rebuilt their fleet within a year, the battle became a symbolic Christian victory, celebrated in art and literature, and marked one of the last major engagements fought primarily with oar-powered galleys.
