Located in the southern part of Connecticut, along the Long Island Sound, New Haven is the second largest city in the state and the county seat of New Haven County, which was founded by English settlers in 1638 and was once the capital of the Connecticut colony, and is rich in colonial history. The city's central landmark, Yale University (founded in 1701), is not only one of the world's leading institutions, but also attracts visitors to its Gothic campus, the Yale Art Gallery and the Peabody Museum of Natural History. Downtown's New Haven Green, a National Historic Landmark, is surrounded by three centuries-old churches, creating a unique human landscape. The presence of Yale University not only shapes the city's academic atmosphere, but also promotes the development of healthcare, technology and other industries. New Haven is an important cultural and economic center in Connecticut, blending history with modern vitality.
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.
