Trabalhos arqueológicos na Cidade Velha (Ribeira Grande de Santiago, Cabo Verde): reflexões sobre um projecto de investigação e divulgação patrimonial

Archaeological excavations in Cidade Velha, Cape Verde's former 16th–17th century Atlantic trading hub and slave trade center, revealed new insights into the city's urban layout and abandonment by the 18th century. Focusing on Rua da Banana—a key thoroughfare—and the historic Nossa Senhora do Rosário church, researchers uncovered data on housing patterns and religious architecture. The study, linked to Cape Verde’s Museum of Archaeology, combined excavation with educational outreach, offering a rare glimpse into the city's layered history as both a maritime power and a site tied to transatlantic slavery.
