Farmagosta, Cyprus. The city still refuses to surrender to the Ottomans, who have already captured the capital, Nicosia. The city is perched on a rock and fiercely defended. Word in Venice is that after 13 days and 4,000 Ottoman cannon shots, “not a single Christian perished, except a pig and a mule.” The Ottomans have had enough and are preparing to weather the winter.
