Relief av kong Sobieski ved torvet Rynek Główny

Kong Sobieski, han som stoppet tyrkerne/osmanerne, dvs. den islamske invasjonen mot Europa ved Wien 11.-12. september 1683. Relief på St. Mariakirken på det store torget i Krakow, Rynek Główny (Central Square). Kongens sarkofag er i krypten på Wavel-slottet. Slaget om Wien: The Battle of Vienna took place at Kahlenberg Mountain near Vienna on 12 September 1683 after the city had been besieged by the Ottoman Empire for two months. The battle was fought by the Holy Roman Empire (led by the Habsburg monarchy) and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, both under the command of King John III Sobieski, against the Ottomans and their vassal and tributary states. The battle marked the first time the Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire had cooperated militarily against the Ottomans. The defeat was a turning point for Ottoman expansion into Europe, after which they would gain no further ground. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vienna Mer om slaget: Ever since Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453 they became the relentless terror of Christendom. For centuries, the nations of Europe fought the Turks on land and at sea. There were great battles and victories and temporary peace treaties. At other times internal political instability among both Europeans and Turks diverted their efforts elsewhere. Nevertheless the struggle between Islam and Christendom continued and the initiative remained with the Turks so that, by 1683, they controlled most of Hungary with only the upper portion remaining part of the Holy Roman Empire (HRE), synonymous with the House of Hapsburg and Austria. https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/the-battle-of-vienna-july-14-september-11-1683/ Katedralen på Wawel er en av Polens viktigste nasjonalhelligdommer.
