Church of Nossa Senhora da Pena (1535) next to the former prision (1772, now the city hall) in Porto Seguro (BA), where Pedro Alvares Cabral anchored in 1500. Numerous feitorias (trading posts) like Porto Seguro were set up along the coast to exploit a native red wood known as pau-brash (brazilwood), the source of a red dye in demand in textile manufacture in Europe.Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Pena (1535) ao lado da antiga prisão (1772, agora a prefeitura da cidade) na cidade alta de Porto Seguro, onde Pedro Alvares Cabral ancorou em 1500.
