Bolama (Guinea-Bissau): West Africa's colonial past meets its natural beauty
Located on the island of Bolama in southwestern Guinea-Bissau, Bolama is the country's historical city and the capital of the Bolama region, which was designated as the colonial capital of West Africa by the Portuguese colonizers at the end of the 19th century, and has retained the neoclassical style of the Governor's Palace, the Church of St. Joseph and other colonial-era buildings, with the mottled walls telling the story of the vicissitudes of life in the past hundred years or so. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and mangrove forests, the city is rich in fishery resources, and the local people make their living by hand fishing and cashew nut cultivation. The unique culture of the Bijagós Islands blends here, with traditional music and painted wood carvings passed down from generation to generation. Despite its relatively modest infrastructure, the pristine natural landscape and deep history make it a unique window into West Africa's people and nature.
