The Siege of Szigetvár or Battle of Szigeth was a siege of the fortress of Szigetvár, Hungary, that blocked Suleiman's line of advance towards Vienna in 1566. The battle was fought between the defending forces of the Habsburg Monarchy and the invading Ottoman army under the nominal command of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.
