Pope Julius II Interdicts the City of Venice

April 27th, 1509 516 years ago

Pope Julius II placed Venice under interdict due to its refusal to comply with papal authority and its military alignment against the League of Cambrai. This ecclesiastical censure prohibited the sacraments and religious services, making it a major event in the context of Renaissance politics. The situation escalated due to tensions with France, leading to Venice's isolation within Italy. This conflict underscored the struggle for power between the Papacy and influential city-states.
