The Fall of Philadelphia marked the fall of the last independent Christian Greek settlement in western Asia Minor to the Islamic Turks of the Ottoman Sultanate. Ironically, the besieging army included a contingent from the Byzantine Empire, which was a vassal of the Ottomans.

  • The Fall of Philadelphia marked the fall of the last independent Christian Greek settlement in western Asia Minor to the Islamic Turks of the Ottoman Sultanate. Ironically, the besieging army included a contingent from the Byzantine Empire, which was a vassal of the Ottomans. Prior to its fall, the city had evaded the fate of her neighbours by paying tribute to the numerous fanatical ghazis, whose bands robbed and pillaged any who did not pay protection money, although the city was not officially under Islamic law. In theory, the city was under the Byzantine Empire, but cut off by a sea of hostile land ensured that in reality the city remained independent. In 1378 Manuel II Palaiologos promised to hand over the city of Philadelphia to the Turks in return for the Ottoman Sultan's aid in a disastrous Byzantine civil war. However, the Philladelphians appeared to have refused surrender, since it was not until 1390 that Bayezid summoned the two leaders of the civil war, John VII and Manuel II and ordered them to accompany the besieging force. The city was taken by the Turks that year.
  • La chute de Philadelphie marque la chute du dernier emplacement indépendant de grecs chrétiens en Asie Mineure par l'empire Ottoman. Ironiquement, l'armée qui prit la ville contenait un contingent de l'armée byzantine, l'empire Byzantin était alors vassal de l'empire. Avant cette chute, la ville avait échappé au sort de ses voisins en payant un tribut aux nombreux Ghazis fanatiques, dont les bandes pillent les différents villages et villes qui ne leur payent pas de tribut, bien que la ville était indépendante. Théoriquement, Philadelphie appartenait à l'empire Byzantin, mais coupée de celui-ci par la mer, la ville est en fait complètement autonome voire indépendante. En 1378, Manuel II Paléologue a promis de remettre la ville aux Turcs en compensation de l'aide du sultan dans la désastreuse guerre civile qui fragilise l'empire Byzantin. Cependant, la population de la ville a refusé de se rendre. Or, il faut attendre 1390 pour le sultan Bayezid n'appelle les deux leaders de la guerre civile, Manuel II et Jean VII à le suivre au sein de son armée qui s'apprête à assiéger la ville. La même année, les Turcs prennent possession de la ville.
  • L'assedio di Filadelfia fu combattuto fra bizantini e ottomani, tra il 1378 e il 1390, questo assedio fu vinto dagli ottomani, che espugnarono così l'ultima città bizantina in Asia minore.
