Due to its geographical location, Porto Seguro was one of the first places that the Portuguese explored in Brazil.
In 1500, Pedro Álvares Cabral arrived on the coast of what is now Porto Seguro and claimed the land for Portugal.
Since then, Porto Seguro has been an important center of commerce and cultural exchange.
It was the first capital of Brazil, from its discovery until the year 1549.
Today, Porto Seguro is a popular tourist destination in Brazil, known for its beaches, its culture, and its history.
