Visit São Filipe


Sao Filipe is a province located on the island of Fogo in the country of Cape Verde. It is renowned for its picturesque landscape, with lush vegetation, dramatic mountains and beautiful beaches. The port city of Sao Filipe offers plenty of attractions to visitors including several historical churches such as Igreja de Santa Barbara and Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Graca. The nearby town of Mosteiros also boasts some stunning views across the island's volcanic landscape and sandy beaches.

For a truly unique experience, visitors should head to Cha das Caldeiras, an ancient caldera surrounded by mountain peaks. Hiking trails winding through lush forests and bubbling hot springs provide spectacular sights and sounds that will remain in your memory forever.

Since 1585 Sao Filipe has been home to Fortaleza de Sao Filipe which was built by Dominican Monks to defend against frequent pirate incursions into their island kingdom. This landmark pays homage to both past Portuguese colonial rule as well as the strength of Cape Verdean independence throughout history.
