Battle during the First Ottoman-Venetian War
The siege of Shkodra took place from May 1478 to April 1479 as a confrontation between the Ottoman Empire and the Venetians together with the League of Lezhë and other Albanians at Shkodra and its Rozafa Castle during the First Ottoman-Venetian War (1463–1479).
