The Spanish conquest of Providencia took place on 17 May 1641 and was a Thirty Years' War amphibious expedition launched by Spain in order to seize the island from English control. The Spanish fleet carrying 2,000 men captured the island and demolished the forts taking so much gold that the value of the plunder was estimated at above half a million ducats.
