In 1519 the Magellan\u2013Elcano Armada left from Seville, which returned three years later after having completed the First Circumnavigation of the World.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Between 2019 and 2022 the commemoration of the 5th centenary of the First Round Trip of the World is being held, a milestone that marks a before and after in the History of Humanity.\u00a0More than two hundred men left for the journey to explore unknown lands and realise the dream of Christopher Columbus: reach South-East Asia and the Spice Islands. However, unpredictable events of the trip resulted in a return to Spanish territory, continuing the route west and resulting in the First Round-Trip of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Led by Fernando de Magallanes and Juan Sebastian Elcano, it was an adventure in which they sailed for the Pacific Ocean for the first time, discovered new species, went into unknown territory and most importantly finally defined the continents and charted the first modern world maps with scientific knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, in Seville there are two attractions related to this journey open to the public, hosted by the Nao Victoria Foundation.\u00a0They tell the story of the men who ventured out to realise the journey, and above all that of the only boat of the five that managed to return, the Nao Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t500 years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
