The Second Battle of Lepanto or Battle of Modon took place in 1500 during the 1499-1503 Turkish-Venetian Wars between the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice. The Ottomans, who had won the Battle of Zonchio (First Battle of Lepanto / Battle of Sapienza) the previous year, were again victorious under Admiral Kemal Reis.
