São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Příbram is an important city in the Czech Central Bohemian region, located about 60 kilometers southwest of the capital Prague, and is known as the "Silver City". The city is famous for its rich silver deposits and was one of the most active mining centers in Europe during the Middle Ages, with old mines and a mining museum still standing today. Příbram is not only steeped in mining history, but also boasts historic buildings such as the Pilgrimage Church of St. James and the Square of the Virgin Mary, a blend of Gothic and Baroque architectural styles. Today, it is both an industrial and educational center and a gateway to the surrounding natural beauty, attracting both history buffs and nature explorers.
