On April 22, 1500, the Portuguese fleet, consisting of ten ships and three ships under the command of a nobleman Pedro Alvares Cabral, arrived at the coast of Bahia - the exact landing site is still under discussion between the residents of Porto Seguro and Cabrália Bay.

With the return of Columbus to Europe in 1492, after the first voyage to America, the Catholic king of Spain, Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, tried to secure the lands conquered by asking the Pope Alexander VI - Rodrigo Borgia - who was Spanish, a document granting them ownership rights.
