Siege of Kayseri (1651)
Siege of Kayseri by Celali rebel forces in 1651
The 1651 siege of Kayseri took place during the Celali rebellions in central Anatolia. Rebel forces led by Kurd Mehmed Agha, Ibşir Mustafa Pasha, and Abaza Hasan Pasha besieged the city of Kayseri, capturing it after a prolonged blockade. The siege was one of the major blows to Ottoman authority during the widespread uprisings of the mid-17th century.
