Ferdinand Magellan led the first voyage around the world from 1519-1522. While most of the ships were lost, one ship called the Victoria returned to Spain in 1522 with 18 survivors including Antonio Pigafetta, who kept a detailed journal of the expedition. Pigafetta's journal provides an accurate first-hand account of their encounters in the Philippines, including establishing relations with local leaders and converting many to Christianity, as well as Magellan's death in a battle against Lapu-Lapu on Mactan Island. Pigafetta's journal is a primary source for understanding the first global circumnavigation and Europe's earliest interactions with the Philippines.
