Vasco Fernandes Coutinho (1490–1561) was a Portuguese fidalgo, first donatário of the Captaincy of Espírito Santo. He was born in Portugal. He was later amongst the first 12 volunteers from Portugal to come to the newly discovered land which came to be known as Brazil. He was presented the area which became Espírito Santo and administered the colony for 25 years, despite being a military man by trade. He founded the current capital Vitória and the first capital, today known as Vila Velha ("Old Town"). During his administration Espírito Santo's first two churches – São João and Rosário, both in Vila Velha – were founded (1551). Both are still standing. ==External links== *(O Estado do Espirito Santo – Brasil ) (port) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vasco Fernandes Coutinho, captain of Espírito Santo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
