Sieges of Ceuta (1694–1727)
Blockades of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta by Moroccan forces (1694-1727)
The sieges of Ceuta, also known as the thirty-year siege, were a series of blockades by Moroccan forces of the Spanish-held city of Ceuta on the North African coast. The first siege began on 23 October 1694 and finished in 1720 when reinforcements arrived. During the 26 years of the first siege, the city underwent changes leading to the loss of its Portuguese character.
