The Siege of Patras was one of the first events of the Greek War of Independence (1821-1830). After the outbreak of the revolution, the Greeks of Patras tried to capture the main castle of the city. After a long period and several sieges, finally the Ottomans restored the order and Patras remained under Ottoman control almost until the end of the war.
