The sack of Cullera, in Spain on the Mediterranean Sea, occurred on 20 May 1550, according to an entry made by a 16th century writer, Pere Joan Porcar;[2] another account gives the date as 15 May 1550[3]
Dragut attacked Cullera at night with 300 men.[6] Dragut sacked the city, seized goods from the people and took almost all of the inhabitants of the city as slaves.[1][7] He kept the captives in a cave before taking them to a slave market in Algiers.[8] This same cave now has a statue of Dragut and a museum commemorating his attack.[citation needed]
After his assault on Cullera he made his way to Majorca where he sacked Pollença, killing or capturing 130 people in the process.[1] He then attacked Barenys in Sardinia where he destroyed the castle, set fire to the crops and took many captives.[9]
