during the 16th century, the portuguese empire was the largest, and wealthiest, european colonial empire and portugal was one of europe's most important states. within the first year of the century, 1500, the portuguese had established the captaincy colonies of brazil, in south america, the colonies of terra nova and labrador, in north america, the trade-colonies of cochim, in india, and melinde, in sub-saharan africa. this century really solidified the portuguese stronghold on the spice trade, with territorial expansions in portuguese india, with the conquest of key cities, such as calecute, 1512, bombaim, 1534, baçaím, 1535, and salsete, 1534, among others. the portuguese colonization of the americas also began in the 16th century, establishing three north american colonies and thirteen south american colonies, but by the end of the century the number of colonies, in total, was reduced to four, due to integration into mega-colonies. in the far east, the portuguese established portuguese macau, 1537, and portuguese timor, 1596. by the end of the century, the portuguese empire was an enormously vast empire, spanning from portuguese malacca, in east asia, and the governorate general of brazil, in south america, to ormuz, on the persian gulf, and mombaça, in sub-saharan africa. the expansion of the empire, both territorially and economically, influenced portuguese colonial architecture a great deal.
