MARCO DO DESCOBRIMENTO
Stele commemorating Pedro Álvares Cabral's exploit, enclosed in a glass cage protected by barriers
Porto Seguro may be known as the birthplace of the lambada, but it is above all the place where the Portuguese discoverers landed in Brazil, for better or for worse. The stele commemorating the exploit of Pedro Álvares Cabral, considered the "discoverer of Brazil", who anchored here on April 23, 1500, a month and a half after leaving Lisbon, continuing the work of Vasco da Gama, is now worn and almost illegible. It has been protected from weathering and damage by the construction of a glass cage around it.
