Cabral sighted a mountain and landed on the southern coast of Bahia at a point that later became Porto Seguro.

 

Cabral believed he had landed on a large island between Portugal and the Spice Islands (East Indies). He named it Ilha de Vera Cruz, or Island of the True Cross.

 

Cabral celebrated Easter Sunday mass and called the mountain Monte Pascoal, or Easter Mountain.

 

This mountain is near Itamaraju.
