Siege of Temeşvar (1716)
1716 siege during the Austro-Turkish War of 1716-1718
The siege of Temeşvar took place from 31 August to 12 October 1716 during the Austro-Turkish War of 1716-1718, to liberate the last regions of Ottoman-occupied Hungary. The Habsburg army led by Prince Eugene of Savoy, who had just won a crushing victory at Petrovaradin, managed to capture the Ottoman fortress of Temeşvar, the capital of the Banat since 1552 and the last Turkish stronghold in Temeşvar Eyalet.
