Abstract

The resemblance between the climate of the Colônia do Sacramento and that of Portugal led many chroniclers to portray the surroundings of the fortress as a European garden. However, the development of farming in Sacramento was not spontaneous, but the result of the pressure from the governor, who forbade the hunting of wild cattle, the major economic source of the region, to any settler who refuse to cultivate their land.
