Portugal is the correct answer.
There were many people born there.
I can tell you an explorer, a writer, a general or a poet. Which one are you looking for?
I am looking for the one who was born in the municipality where that church stands.
All those that Iâve mentioned where born in SabrosaâŠ
But I think you are looking for Ferdinand Magellan?

Can you name the battle?
This one?
Battle of KöniggrĂ€tz, also called Battle Of Sadowa, (July 3, 1866), decisive battle during the Seven Weeksâ War between Prussia and Austria, fought at the village of Sadowa, northwest of the Bohemian town of KöniggrĂ€tz (now Hradec KrĂĄlovĂ©, Czech Republic) on the upper Elbe River. The Prussian victory effected Austriaâs exclusion from a Prussian-dominated Germany.
