Where
Acropolis of Athens
Part of
Greek defenders of the Acropolis surrender to Rashid Pasha's forces

Greek defenders surrendered the Acropolis to Reshid Pasha's forces on 5 June 1827, ending the siege.

The Acropolis garrison surrendered on 5 June 1827, in the last Ottoman victory of the war. The capitulation followed the Ottoman victory at Phaleron on 24 April 1827, which ended any possibility of relief for the besieged defenders. The 5 June date rests on a single passage; the legacy record's 7 June 1827 is unverified and contradicted by the supplied source.
