João Fernandes

Portuguese explorer of the 15th century · Portugal · On the map · Historical Figures

João Fernandes was a Portuguese explorer of the 15th century. He was perhaps the earliest of modern explorers in the upland of West Africa, and a pioneer of the European slave and gold trade of Guinea.

João Fernandes is read about 6 times a day, in 7 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 15 September 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
