The year was 1571. The expansion of the Ottoman Empire threatened the Mediterranean and the heart of Christendom.
A great alliance was formed — the Holy League — bringing together Spain, Venice, the Papal States and other Christian powers. At its center stood the Spanish fleet and the leadership of Don John of Austria.
On October 7, the fleets met in the Battle of Lepanto.
Hundreds of galleys collided. Cannons thundered. Soldiers boarded enemy ships in brutal hand-to-hand combat.
Spanish tercios and Christian forces fought under the sign of the Cross, while across the decks flew the banners of the Ottoman crescent.
Across Europe, the faithful prayed the Rosary as the battle raged.
By the end of the day, the Ottoman fleet was shattered.
It was one of the greatest naval victories in the history of Christendom.
A triumph of courage, unity… and faith

The courage was the from the ottoman new born navy who went to battle with a coalition of Spanish and Venetian professional galere more prepared than the ottoman who accepted the fight only because the orders were to never retreat.
