Indians in Portugal
In the 6 years between 2018 and 2023 around 45,000 Indians have settled the country,[3][4][5][6][7][8] mostly in the Lisbon metropolitan area, Porto, the Algarve[9] and the Districts of Beja, Santarém and Leiria.[12] A Portuguese woman, Dona Ana de Ataíde owned an Indian man named António as a slave in Évora.[15] A large number of slaves were forcibly brought there since the commercial, artisanal, and service sectors all flourished in a regional capital like Évora.Manuel Gomes previously owned a slave who escaped in 1558 at age 18 and he was said to be from the "land of Prester John of the Indias" named Diogo.A capelão do rei, father João Pinto left an Indian man in Porto where he was picked up in 1546 by the Evora-based Santa Marta convent's nuns to serve as their slave.
