Portuguese Maritime Explorations

This map traces the maritime voyages that defined Portugal’s Age of Exploration (15th–16th cc.). It charts Bartolomeu Dias rounding the Cape of Good Hope, Vasco da Gama reaching India, Pedro Álvares Cabral landing in Brazil, and Fernão de Magalhães leading the first circumnavigation. These routes expanded Portugal’s trade empire and mapped new intercontinental sea passages.
