The 16th century began on January 1, 1501 and ended December 31, 1600 at midnight.
Think of it this way, when counting the first 10 numbers do you start with zero? No. You start with 1 and end with 10. And the same goes when counting the centuries. The last year of the century always ends with "00".

1501.
The 1st century started in the year 1, right? There was no year zero, after all. So Dec. 31, 100 was the last day of the last year of the first century. Jan 1, 101 was the first day of the 2nd century. Extend that forward 1400 years, and you'll see that people who say 1500 are wrong.

Each century is 100 years prior to what it is claimed. Thus, it began in 1500 and ended on the last day of 1599. Peace and God Bless.

Appropriate to your question is the fact that the so-called 'millenium' (21st) didn't begin untill 2001 despite all that bruhaha at the demise of 1999.
