Dili is the capital of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, the largest city and the political, economic and cultural center of the country, located on the southern shore of the Gulf of Dili on the Timor coast in the north of Timor Island. The young city, which became the capital after Timor-Leste's independence in 2002, still retains its Portuguese colonial architecture, such as the old Jesuit church and colonial-style government buildings, as well as a mix of local indigenous culture and Indonesian influences. As an important port on Timor Island and a hub for the export of agricultural products such as coffee and sandalwood, the city has seen a rise in tourism in recent years, attracting visitors with its iconic "Jesus Statue" (overlooking the bay), blue coastline and relaxed beach atmosphere, making it an ideal starting point for exploring Timor-Leste's history and natural beauty.
