Battle of Curzola
The Battle of Curzola was a naval battle fought on 9 September 1298 off the island of Curzola, now Korčula, in the Adriatic between the fleets of Genoa and Venice. The Genoese admiral Lamba Doria won a crushing victory, capturing most of the Venetian galleys and thousands of prisoners, traditionally including Marco Polo, who is said to have dictated his travels while held in Genoa. Peace followed in 1299.
