The Diaz Padrao in the Cape Point Nature Reserve in South Africa. Bartholemew Diaz sailed from Lisbon in 1487 and rounded the Cape without knowing it before landing at Mossel Bay. A padrao is a limestone pillar bearing the Portuguese coat of arms and an inscription stating when and by whom it was raised. The cross signified Portuguese sovereignty and Christianity.
