Description I am standing by a monument at Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point on the European continent. The plaque has the dates 1140 - 1640 - 1940. As far as I can tell, they refer to (1) establishing the Portuguese monarchy after the Moors were expelled, (2) the return of Portuguese sovereignty after a period when the Spanish and Portuguese crowns were united, and (3) the date of the monument. This plaque was replaced in 1979 with one that focused on the geographic significance of the spot.
Date Taken on 23 July 1968
