Venetian Cultural Diplomacy may be used in reference to the relations between Venice and the Ottoman Empire during the 16th and 17th centuries. Venice had close ties with the Ottoman Empire during this period and was an important diplomatic partner, with 145 ambassadors being sent from the Empire to Venice and the first ambassador to visit the Empire being from Venice. Despite these ties there was a brief period of war between the Ottomans and the Venetians, when they fought over contested lands (1499-1503), a war which was won by the Ottomans.
