One of the battles of this war is the battle of Junkio. However, it is also known as the Battle of Sapienza, the First Battle of Lepanto, or in Turkish as Sapienza Deniz Muharebisi. In this naval battle which took place in 1499, the two sides faced each other for a total of four days - 12, 20, 22 and 25 August, i.e. the last one is on this day.
