Turkish warships saluted his tomb, the Tomb of Barbaros, three times with foghorns. they sailed along the coast of Istanbul’s Beşiktaş district.
Before the naval exercise, the tomb was open to visitors half a day a week. It is now open five days a week, and the change in time reveals how powerful an inspiration Hayreddin Pasa has been in modern Turkish life.

Born on the island of Lesvos in what is now modern Greece, in 1478, Hayreddin Pase’s real name was Khizr or Khidr. He was nicknamed “Barbarossa” because of his red beard. The Ottoman Sultan Selim I gave him the honorary name “Hayreddin”, which means “the best of the faith”.
After his death in 1546, the Ottoman Empire announced: “The leader of the sea is dead.”
As the youngest of four brothers, he began trading between Lesvos, Thessaloniki, and Euboea in present-day Greece with a ship he built.
His brother was known as Baba Oruc (Father Oruc) because he helped Muslim refugees fleeing the Christian Crusades in Andalus. He transported them to North Africa with his fleet.
Hayreddin Pasa was clever and bright as a young man, although he tended to make fun of his contemporaries. As a young man, he was known for his fiery rhetoric. He was brave but prudent.
He was strong-willed but with an innate fighting instinct.
After his successes in the Mediterranean as commander of his fleet, he made sure to invest in his subordinates by educating them and treating them with respect.
He was multilingual and spoke all the main Mediterranean languages, such as Greek, Arabic, Spanish, Italian, and French.
After rescuing his brother Oruc from the prison of the Knights of Rhodes, the brothers declared their loyalty to the Ottoman prince Sehzade Korkut, who was Selim I’s brother.
In 1504, Hayreddin and his brother took part in a struggle for naval supremacy against Spain, Genoa and France in the Mediterranean. In the end, they emerged victorious.
The Barbarossa brothers then invaded Algeria and took the country from the Spanish state in 1516. He offered the conquered land to Selim I and Algeria became part of the Ottoman state.
Hayreddin Pasa maintained the security of the sea lanes by ending the Venetian hegemony in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean.
Despite some sources calling the Barbarossa brothers former corsairs of the Mediterranean, Istanbul University history professor Idris Bostan previously told Anadolu Agency that Barbaros was an admiral who harmonized the navy.
He had experience as an architect and ship engineer.
Bostan said that there are attempts to undermine him by calling him a ‘pirate’, but such statements are inconsistent with authentic Ottoman history.
The professor added that Barbaros participated in many operations in the Mediterranean. He knew all the ships of the Mediterranean because he sometimes saw them on the coast of Algeria, inspected them, and connected them with his forces.
After the death of Selim I, his son Suleiman (“The Lawgiver” to the Turks and “The Magnificent” to the Europeans) was crowned Sultan of the vast empire.
Suleiman made Hayreddin Pasa the chief admiral of the empire.
At one point in the 16th century, historians say that he was the most powerful lord of the sea, who commanded fear and respect from both friends and enemies. Barbaros Hayreddin Sultanın Fermanı Episode 1 English Subtitles
In about twenty years, it extended its influence to North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the eastern Atlantic. He also had fleets of privateers and a land army. He attacked the coast of southern Europe and seized Spanish ships coming from America with gold.
