Arrival of the Turkish Armada. The map of Malta depicts the activity which took place when the Turkish armada arrived off Malta on the 18th May 1565

The Turkish Armada put to flight. The Turks destoyed their camps and re-embarked their troops. Suddenly and possibly because they had been duped into believing that the relief force was smaller than it actually was, some troops landed once again but were easily repulsed by the fresh troops from Sicily. the Great Siege waof 1565 was over.
