Capture of La Mámora
The Capture of La Mámora was a successful Spanish raid, commanded by Admiral Luis Fajardo y Chacón, on the town of La Mamora, south of El Araich in August 1614 as part of a campaign against African privateering at the Moroccan coast. The fortress remained part of the Spanish Kingdom until 1681 when Muley Ismail Ibn Sharif, the Sultan of Morocco took the city from the Spaniards.
