In this episode:
Despite commanding an overwhelming force of 180,000 men, the Ottomans under Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent fail to breach the formidable fortifications of Rhodes. Undeterred, they launch a massive naval blockade and a daring underground mining operation. But will it be enough to infiltrate the island and defeat the Knights of the Order of St. John?

The series:
From medieval citadels to ancient strongholds, fortresses were built to be impenetrable — engineered with towering walls, intricate defences, and cunning traps to repel any enemy. But history tells a different story: brilliant generals and relentless armies have breached even the mightiest strongholds.

This documentary series explores the greatest fortress sieges in history, revealing the secrets of their construction and the battle-tested strategies used to defend or conquer them. Through expert insights and dramatic reconstructions, discover how these colossal structures became both sanctuaries and battlegrounds.
