Abstract

In the first part of the paper, the author refers to the works of Croatian contemporaries tackling the topic of the Battle of Lepanto. In the second part, the reason for gathering the fleet of the Holy League, its tactics and the state of individual squadrons prior to leaving Messina are presented. In the follow-up, the impact of individual galleys from Croatian communes and the events during the battle itself are reconstructed; further, the merits of chief commanders are reassessed. The final part brings the correction of the markings (names) under which the galleys from Croatian towns had fought.
