Belmonte Belmonte was so named in allusion to the birthplace of the Portuguese Navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral where he arrived, for the first time in the year 1500, with the ships in Brazil. It is located in the extreme south of Bahia; it is the last town to the north that belongs to the Discovery Coast and neighbouring Canavieiras to the north, Porto Seguro, Santa Cruz Cabrália and Eunápolis to the South; to the East with the Atlantic Ocean and to the West with Itapebi Belmonte is the only destination on the Discovery Coast that was part of the Cycle of Cocoa and surprises with bucolic air and touches of refinement of imposing mansions erected in the nineteenth century - real gems dating back to the time when the town experienced its glory days, being a reference for the entire Coast. Belmonte was once the big "capital" of the Discovery Coast, with ships that docked with news from every corner of the world. The city prides itself on having large relics like the old fountain constructed of cast iron, imported from Glasgow, Scotland and the lighthouse erected in 1901, another historical treasure for having been built by the same company that built the Eiffel Tower in Paris. A curiosity of the place is that in the last 100 years the sea retreated 2 km due to urban expansion and silting, leaving the Lighthouse, previously located on the beachfront, at the center of the city. http://turismoedescobrimento.blogspot.pt/p/belmonte_19.html
