São Tomé is the capital and largest city of the Central African island country of São Tomé and Príncipe. Its name is Portuguese for “Saint Thomas.” Founded in the 15th century, it is one of Africa’s oldest colonial cities. The nation comprises two islands, aptly named Sao Tome and Principe. Thus, the nation’s official name is the Democratic Republic of San Tome and Principe. It is the second-smallest and second-least populous African nation. The legacy of long Portuguese rule is visible in the country’s architecture, culture, customs, and music, which fuse European and African influences.
