Santisima Trinidad (Taiwan)
Santísima Trinidad (meaning "Holy Trinity") was a bay on the northeast coast of Taiwan at Keelung, where in 1626 the Spanish established a settlement and built Template:Interlanguage link.Template:Sfnp They occupied the site until 1642 when they were driven out by the Dutch. The Dutch re-shaped the Spanish fort, reduced its size and renamed it Template:Interlanguage link.[1]
In 1661, Koxinga, a Southern Ming loyalist, with 400 warships and 25,000 men laid siege to the main Dutch fortress (Zeelandia in Anping). Defended by 2,000 Dutch soldiers, the Dutch left their fort in Keelung, when it became clear that no reinforcements were forthcoming from Zeelandia or Batavia (present day Jakarta, Indonesia).
In 1663, the Dutch returned to Keelung, retook the fort, strengthened and enlarged it and kept it until 1668, when they voluntarily gave it up, as the trade in Keelung was not what they expected it to be.
