Spanish sovereignty over the Moluccas Islands (1606-1662) led to a relatively unknown episode in Spanish history involving the presence of Spanish soldiers in the north of the island now known as Sulawesi. The conquest of the Moluccas in 1606 marked the start of a period of frequent contacts between the Spaniards of the Moluccas and the tribes of nearby North Sulawesi.

Spanish sovereignty over the Moluccas Islands (1606-1662) led to a relatively unknown episode in Spanish history involving the presence of Spanish soldiers in the north of the island now known as Sulawesi. The conquest of the Moluccas in 1606 marked the start of a period of frequent contacts between the Spaniards of the Moluccas and the tribes of nearby North Sulawesi. For several decades alliances were made and a small Spanish colony occupied the north of Sulawesi. The remoteness of the territory and the scarcity of resources were to make the consolidation of a Spanish colony impossible and were to be followed by Dutch colonization of this territory. However, far from being an isolated episode, this Spanish presence continued for almost seven decades, during which Spanish soldiers and members of the Church travelled and resided in a territory remote from the centre of power of Manila. ; La soberanía española sobre las islas Molucas (1606-1662) dio lugar a un episodio poco conocido en la historia española, la presencia de soldados españoles en el norte de la actual isla de Sulawesi. La conquista de las Molucas en 1606 inició un período de frecuentes relaciones entre los españoles de las Molucas y las tribus de la cercana isla de Sulawesi. Durante varias décadas se firmarán alianzas y habrá una pequeña colonia española en el norte de Sulawesi. La lejanía del territorio y la escasez de recursos imposibilitarán la consolidación de una colonia española y antecederá la colonización holandesa de este territorio. No obstante, lejos de ser un episodio aislado, esta presencia española tuvo una continuidad temporal que hizo que durante casi siete décadas, soldados y religiosos españoles viajaran y residieran en este territorio tan alejado del centro de poder de Manila.
