    The bronze statue of the famous Portuguese explorer, who discovered the sea route to India, stands on a stone pedestal in the city's public garden. The monument was commissioned by the government of Natal and erected in Évora in 1897 to commemorate Vasco da Gama's arrival in South Africa 400 years earlier. In the background, historic Portuguese buildings can be seen, surrounded by flowering jacaranda trees, renowned for their vibrant purple blossoms in spring and early summer.
