Portuguese Conquest of Goa
Years: 1510 - 1510
The Portuguese conquest of Goa occurs in 1510 on behalf of the Portuguese admiral Dom Afonso de Albuquerque.
Goa (also Old Goa or Velha Goa) is not among the cities Albuquerque had received orders to conquer: he had only been ordered by the Portuguese king to capture Hormuz, Aden and Malacca.
