The Battle of Lepanto was a naval engagement which took place on 7 October 1571. The battle was between the fleet of the Holy League, arranged by Pope Pius V and the fleet of the Ottoman Empire on the northern edge of the Gulf of Corinth, off western Greece. The Holy League won, but was unable to convert that victory into an offensive against the Ottomans. However, the Holy League victory stopped the Ottoman advance into Central Europe by sea.
