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, which occurred in 1619, after the first Dutch attempt to conquer Jayakarta. This important event in the history of Jakarta led to the Dutch taking control of Jayakarta. This military conquest also marked the declining era of the Banten Sultanate.
