Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of Lepanto

The Holy League, a coalition of Spain, Venice, and the Papal States, decisively defeated the Ottoman fleet in one of history's largest naval battles. Over 400 galleys clashed in close combat. The victory shattered the myth of Ottoman naval invincibility and prevented Ottoman expansion into the western Mediterranean, though it did not end Ottoman naval power entirely.
