Miradouro Terra de Fernão de Magalhães

This viewpoint is a tribute to Fernão de Magalhães (Ferdinand Magellan), the famous Portuguese explorer considered the first person to circumnavigate the world and born in Sabrosa.

Although he did not survive the voyage— he died in 1521 on the island of Mactan (now part of the Philippines)—his fleet completed the first complete circumnavigation of the Earth, a milestone in world history.

Sabrosa honors its famous native with various monuments and cultural events. The city maintains international relations with countries that were involved in Magellan's journey, such as the Philippines, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. These ties not only help keep Magellan's legacy alive, but also strengthen the cultural and touristic appeal of the region.
