Sao Tome National Museum
The museum is located in the former fortress of Säo Sebas
Of course, the museum can offer nothing more than artifacts from the colonial period. There are many historical pictures in the museum, where you can see that the city was once clean and beautiful. Unfortunately, it is impossible to say about the current state of the city. From the upper part of the fortress there is a view of the city, but also of today's container port. continue reading
