For the capital city of Mozambique, see Maputo.

Lourenço Marques was a 16th-century Portuguese trader and coloniser.

Biography

Lourenço Marques explored the area that is now Maputo Bay in 1544 and settled permanently in present-day Mozambique, where he spent most of his life with his indigenous wife and their children.

By order of King John III, Maputo Bay was named Baía de Lourenço Marques in his honour, but this name was never in common use among the foreign community.
