On 6 February 1694, artillery and a large colonial force breached the Cerca Real dos Macacos, Palmares’s principal fortified settlement. The attack destroyed a major center, killed and captured residents, and forced many survivors to flee. Palmares had comprised multiple settlements and networks, so the fall of Macaco did not mean every Palmarista was captured or that resistance ended. Records of the campaign were produced by military and colonial authorities and should be read as accounts of repression, not neutral descriptions of the community.
