The siege of Chilia ended in the takeover of the Chilia Fortress [ro; uk], in the Principality of Moldavia (today located in Kiliia in present-day Ukraine), by the Ottoman Empire after a nine-day siege. The siege took place both by land and sea. After the settlement was taken, its churches were converted into mosques.[3] [4]
