 Siege of Nauplia (1715)

The Siege of Nauplia took place on 12–20 July 1715, when the Ottoman Empire captured the city of Nauplia ("Napoli di Romagna"), the capital of the Republic of Venice's "Kingdom of the Morea" in southern Greece.Although Nauplia was strongly fortified and had been further strengthened with the construction of Palamidi fortress by the Venetians, the Ottomans managed to overcome them, largely through the treasonous assistance of the French colonel La Salle.
