[edit] Longest siege in history?

Another candidate for the longest siege in history is described here as follows (click "Search in this book"): "The Moors often beseiged Ceuta. one such investment beginning in 1674 lasting 26 years." Art LaPella (talk) 02:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Aha. I knew that Ceuta was a contender for the record, but had not found a source giving the exact duration. Candia then slips to second place. Cplakidas (talk) 10:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
