The town of Ribeira Brava (colloquially known in Cape Verdean Creole as Stanxa) is the city that constitutes the seat of the Ribeira Brava Municipality in Cape Verde. It takes its name from several ÔroughÕ streams in the valley areas in the mountains to the west and also in the centre of the island of São Nicolau. The city is sandwiched between two mountains, Monte Fora to the north and Caleijão mountains to the south. Its streets and buildings stretch hundreds of metres within the valley. It serves as the center of business and trade for the surrounding areas. Its population is 4,982. It was one of the oldest towns in Cape Verde and was for many years the seat of the Roman Catholic Church in the islands. The city has a colonial look with Portuguese style buildings, charming parks and gardens, small winding streets, and steep hills with stunning views. Ribeira Brava is linked with roads to Tarrafal de São Nicolau on the southwestern part of the island, south to its nearest port Campo and to the eastern half of the island as well. The city was founded in the sixteenth century after locals settled here to escape continuous pirate attacks by the likes of Sir Francis Drake. Ribeira Brava is famous for being the bedrock of Cape Verdean intellect in the 19th century as there you find the famous Semin‡rio Liceu São José which for many years was the center of higher education in the archipelago. ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
