About São Tomé

Overlooking Ana Chaves Bay, São Tomé is the lively island capital of São Tomé and Príncipe. It is one of Africa’s oldest colonial cities, with the Portuguese-born explorer Álvaro Caminha founding a colony here in 1493. Previously uninhabited, São Tomé became the centre of an island nation that was once the world’s largest producer of sugar.

Things to do in São Tomé

In the heart of São Tomé is Our Lady of Grace Cathedral, a centuries-old house of worship that was remodelled with a Neo-Romanesque facade in 1956. Gaze up at its twin towers before stepping inside to explore the graceful interior with its Portuguese-style blue tile work. Coincide your visit with a Sunday service to experience the cathedral at its liveliest.

Nearby is the monumental Presidential Palace, a pink-coloured mansion built in a Portuguese colonial style. It served as the Governor of Portuguese São Tomé and Príncipe’s residence until 1975, when the country gained independence. This landmark event was celebrated at Independence Square, which is marked by a commemorative monument.

Housed within the waterfront Fort of São Sebastião is the National Museum, which exhibits artefacts and artwork illustrating the cultural history of the nation. The fort was originally established by the Portuguese in 1575 and a lighthouse was added in 1866 to help ships navigate the rocky coastline. Learn about the role of slavery in the history of São Tomé and Príncipe, as well as the cocoa and coffee industries that have shaped the island nation.
