Summary[edit]

Description
English: The old milkwood tree (Sideroxylon inerme) inside the Dias Museum Complex has been used as a post office since 1501. In 1500, on his return journey from the east, Pedro de Ataide left a letter of importance in a shoe or iron pot under a tree. In 1501 this letter was found by Joao da Nova, commander of the third East India fleet en route to India.
