  1. Participation in the Portuguese slave trade

    Casa da Guiné administered and enforced aspects of the Portuguese Crown's West African trading monopoly, including the capture, transport and sale of enslaved Africans. The reference material reports an average of approximately 1,000 enslaved Africans sold each year for nearly fifty years. This historical activity is documented as part of the institution's colonial and commercial role.
