The Plot of "El Turco"

The Plot of "El Turco"

'El Turco' takes its inspiration from the historical events of the Second Siege of Vienna. The series narrates the story of an Ottoman military officer named Hasan Balaban, who, after the siege, seeks refuge in an Italian village named Moena. Nursed back to health by the villagers, Hasan marries a local girl and wins the affection of the townspeople. Renowned as 'El Turco,' the Ottoman soldier leads a successful uprising against unjust taxes imposed by the dukes and protects the townsfolk. The Italians have embraced the Ottoman soldier to such an extent that, even after three centuries, he is still affectionately known as 'El Turco,' and the Turkish traditions he introduced continue to thrive.
