Located in the southwestern part of the island of Santiago, Cape Verde, on the west coast of Africa, the County of São Domingos is the country's second-tier administrative region, about 15 kilometers from the capital city of Praia, in the southern core of the archipelago. As one of the oldest settlements in Cape Verde, Santo Domingos was founded in the 15th century and was once an important trading hub during the Portuguese colonial period. It has retained its colonial architecture, with historical monuments such as the Church of Santo Domingos, which is both culturally valuable and attractive to tourists. The local economy is mainly based on agriculture (such as sugar cane and fruit cultivation) and handicrafts, but in recent years it has gradually developed small-scale manufacturing and services based on its geographical advantage of being close to the capital. The population is predominantly Creole, and the culture is a blend of Portuguese and African traditions. The annual Carnival and other festivities are full of local characteristics, making it one of the windows to experience Cape Verde's multiculturalism.
