About the battle
The siege of Chilia in 1484 ended in the takeover of the Chilia Fortress, in the Principality of Moldavia (today located in Kiliia in present-day Ukraine), by the Ottoman Empire after a nine-day siege. The siege took place both by land and sea. After the settlement was taken, its churches were converted into mosques.
