Crónicas de Praia
Praia, the capital of Cabo Verde, was founded in 1615 by Portuguese colonizers. The city's architecture reflects its colonial past, with a mix of Portuguese and African influences in its buildings, streets, and fortifications. Praia's cultural identity is shaped by its history as a major hub for the transatlantic slave trade, which is still commemorated at the Fortaleza de São Felipe. Today, the city is a melting pot of African, Portuguese, and Brazilian influences, visible in its music, cuisine, and festivals. The city's historic centre is a maze of narrow streets and colonial buildings, with many landmarks and museums showcasing its rich history.
