From the hallowed halls of Portugal's past, two iconic Goncalves stand out: Bento Goncalves da Silva, the Gaucho revolutionary and leader of the Ragamuffin War, and Nuno Goncalves, the 15th-century artist whose masterpiece, the Altarpiece of St. Vincent, continues to inspire awe. Meanwhile, in Africa, explorers like Verney Lovett Cameron and Prince Henry the Navigator, a patron of Nuno, expanded Portugal's reach. Fast forward to the 20th century, and the allure of Brazil drew travelers, as depicted in vintage posters. Amidst these tales of history, a memorial stands tall for the first Portuguese soldier killed in action during World War I, a testament to the enduring legacy of these influential Goncalves.
