The Fall of Jayakarta, also known as the conquest of Jacatra, was a military engagement between the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and the Banten Sultanate at Jayakarta in 1619, following the first Dutch attempt to conquer the city. It resulted in the Dutch seizure of Jayakarta and marked the beginning of the decline of the Banten Sultanate.
