What Ottoman Soldiers Did To The Captured Nuns of Otranto Was Worse Than Death

Описание: What Ottoman Soldiers Did To The Captured Nuns of Otranto Was Worse Than Death

In August 1480, the city of Otranto fell to the Ottoman Empire.
History remembers the 800 men who were executed for refusing to convert, later canonized as saints.
But almost no one talks about what happened to the women.
This documentary reveals the forgotten half of the Siege of Otranto — the wives, daughters, and nuns who survived the massacre only to be carried away into slavery, forced captivity, and systematic erasure.
Through surviving manuscripts, church records, Ottoman accounts, and eyewitness testimony, we follow the story of Sister Luchia Ferrante, a nun whose life did not end in martyrdom, but in something far more complicated — witness.
Her account describes: • The fall of Otranto and the Ottoman siege
• The separation of men and women after the city was breached
• The execution of the 800 martyrs on the Hill of Minerva
• The fate of the nuns of Santa Maria del Carmine
• The Adriatic slave routes and Ottoman markets in Albania
• Why the Church remembered the men — and quietly buried the women
This is not legend.
This is not myth.
This is history drawn from primary sources, archaeology, and surviving testimony that was never meant to be centered.
