Siege of Messolonghi

Siege of Messolonghi

The Siege of Messolonghi may refer to one of three different sieges of the town of Messolonghi during the Greek War of Independence:

* The First Siege of Messolonghi (1822)
* The Second Siege of Messolonghi (1823)
* The Third and final Siege of Messolonghi (1825), leading to the fall of the town. This is the most famous of the three, and typically an unqualified reference to the "Siege of Messolonghi" will be about it
