1815 siege during the Neapolitan War
The siege of Gaeta of 1815 was a three-month siege of the city of Gaeta by Austrian forces during the Neapolitan War.
Siege
The Neapolitan garrison was commanded by Maresciallo di Campo Alessandro Begani, general of the deposed King of Naples Gioacchino Murat, while the Austrians were commanded by Joseph Freiherr von Lauer. The Austrians were reinforced by the ships of the Royal Navy. On 8 August 1815 the city capitulated, marking the official end of the war.[1]
Aftermath
The defenders were forced to capitulate due to the lack of food and for the diseases that raged in the troops. For the surrender, General Begani obtained honorable conditions.[2]
