Battle of Lepanto, the greatest Naval battle fought in Gulf of Patras between the Holy League (European artillery) and Turkish Navy... The Holy League comprised of forces from Spain, Venice and the Papal States (also known as State of the Church)...
During the early hours on this day in the year 1571, both armed forces approached head-on, prepared for the most cruel fight in the human history... In the Naval warfare, this Battle of Lepanto was fought almost entirely between rowing vessels...
More than 40,000 soldiers were killed in this naval engagement which was finally won by Holy League, the European alliance...
This stamp can be collected under the themes:
