EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment when Diogo Gomes and Antonio Nola, intrepid explorers in the service of Henry the Navigator, first laid eyes on the shores of Santiago, the largest island in the Cape Verde archipelago. Dated to 1460, this pivotal discovery marked a significant milestone in the Portuguese colonial history of the region. Diogo Gomes, a skilled navigator, and Antonio Nola, later known as Noli, a distinguished military leader, embarked on this voyage at the behest of Henry the Navigator, who was instrumental in promoting exploration and maritime expansion beyond the known European world. The Cape Verde Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean, offered strategic importance as a stopping point for ships en route to India and the East. Upon sighting the island, Nola was appointed as the first Governor of Cape Verde by King Afonso V. The discovery of Santiago opened up new opportunities for trade, settlement, and the spread of Portuguese influence in the region. The Cape Verde Islands became a vital stepping stone for further exploration and colonization, paving the way for the establishment of a significant Portuguese presence in Africa and beyond. This photograph, with its rich historical context, transports us back to a time of adventure, discovery, and the expansion of European territories. The image of Diogo Gomes and Antonio Nola, standing on the shores of Santiago, serves as a testament to their courage and determination, forever etched in the annals of Portuguese colonial history.
