Full of culture, churches, museums, and the famous "porta de Camões" ( Luis Camões - epic portuguese poet, who stayed briefly on the island during his passage to India), the island is a delight to visit. The Island has various squares and places.

The Island of Mozambique is the peral of the Indian Ocean, a place where all religions and cultures mix in harmony and bliss. Sanctuary to Portuguese shipwrecks and home of true sailors, it is the ideal place to spend a truly restful and cultural holiday. The whole feeling of the island is a novel, each inhabitant an actor with a role and a mission.

The Fortress was built buy successive generations of portuguese navigators as a defense to this important commercial port on the route to India
