About this listen

In 1565, the Ottoman Empire under Suleiman the Magnificent launched a massive invasion of the island of Malta, held by the Knights Hospitaller. This episode covers the four-month siege, focusing on key figures like Grand Master Jean Parisot de Valette, the Ottoman commander Kızılahmedli Mustafa Pasha, and the corsair Turgut Reis. We explore the fortifications of Birgu and St. Elmo, the critical relief force from Sicily, and how the defenders' resilience turned the tide. The siege's failure marked the end of Ottoman expansion in the Mediterranean and solidified the Knights' legend. Learn about the Great Siege's impact on European morale and the Ottoman psyche.
