Explanation
Quincentenary names the 500th anniversary of the voyage, functioning as the direct object of marks, which is the role of a noun. It is preceded by the article the, a clear noun marker. It does not describe another word as an adjective would, nor modify a verb as an adverb would, and it is not an article itself. The naming and article-marked position make it a noun.
