Template:Campaignbox Spanish-Barbary battles The Sack of Calpe in 1637 was a military operation conducted by the Regency of Algiers against Spain, where they raided the village and devastated the coast on Valencia.
Raid[edit]
In 1637, concurrently with the Raid on Ceriale and Borghetto, Algerian forces executed another incursion, this time targeting Calpe. During this invasion, the Corsairs devastated the coastal areas of Valencia, leading to the enslavement of 315 individuals, mostly women and children.[1][2][3][4]
