The Cape of Good Hope, the most south-westerly point in Africa.
A 1703 map of the Cape of Good Hope (Cabo da Boa Esperança). It was first named the Cape of Storms by Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias in 1488 because of the raging seas he encountered there. Later, King John II of Portugal changed the name to the Cape of Good Hope because of the great optimism inspired by the opening of a sea route to India and eastern regions. Cape Town is named for this important nautical landmark.
