Historia

Maluku has a rich history shaped by its strategic location along ancient trade routes. Known as the Spice Islands, it was once the center of the global spice trade, attracting traders from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The region's wealth in nutmeg and cloves led to colonial interests, particularly from the Portuguese and Dutch.
