The Battle of Lepanto was a naval battle fought on October 7, 1571 in the Gulf of Patras, Greece, near Naupacte - then called Lepanto - as part of the Fourth Venetian-Ottoman War. Here, the powerful Ottoman navy faced a Christian fleet comprising Venetian and Spanish squadrons reinforced by Genoese, Papal, Maltese and Savoyard galleys, all united under the name of the Holy League on the initiative of Pope Pius V. The battle ended in defeat for the Turks, who lost most of their ships and almost 20,000 men. The event had considerable repercussions in Europe, for, even more than the defeat of the Janissaries during the Great Siege of Malta in 1565, it sounded the death knell for Ottoman expansionism.
Some historians consider it to be the most significant naval battle since Actium, which marked the end of the Roman civil wars (Source: www.wikipedia.org).
