Praia is the capital and largest city of Cape Verde, located on the southern coast of Santiago Island in the central Atlantic Ocean. It serves as the political, economic, and cultural hub of the archipelago, with a population of approximately 160,000. The city's Platô district preserves Portuguese colonial-era architecture, while its broader metropolitan area reflects the Creole identity that defines Cape Verdean society. Nearby Cidade Velha, established in the 15th century, is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and represents the first European colonial city built in the tropics.
