The siege of Gyula was a military siege undertaken by the Ottoman Empire from July to September 1566 on the town of Gyula, situated on the Military Frontier and under Habsburg rule. It was part of the Habsburg–Ottoman war of 1565–1568 and the wider Little War in Hungary. The castle capitulated after two months of resisting the Ottoman attack, making it the longest 16th-century siege in Hungary.[2]
