Located in the southern part of Azerbaijan, Satre District is an important administrative division of the country, known for its natural beauty and agricultural economy. With a total area of about 770 square kilometers and a population of about 100,000, the district is situated in the belt of the Lesser Caucasus Mountains, with a mountainous terrain and a mild climate suitable for the cultivation of cereals and fruits.
Bordering on the Iranian border and about 250 kilometers away from the capital Baku, Satre District is rich in forests and water resources. There are several nature reserves in the district with rich biodiversity, making it an ideal destination for hiking and eco-tourism.
The economy is predominantly agricultural, producing wheat, grapes and nuts. Traditional Azerbaijani culture is preserved in the region, with handicrafts and folk festivals attracting tourists. The Satre district is easily accessible by road, connecting major cities and serving as an important gateway for exploring the south of Azerbaijan.
Cidade Velha (Old City), the former capital of the Republic of Cape Verde and a World Heritage Site, is located on the southern coast of the island of Santiago. As the first European colonial settlement in the tropics (founded in 1462), it was an important transit point for the Portuguese Empire's slave trade and bears witness to the history of the transatlantic trade.
Old Cualar has some of the oldest roads, churches and forts in Cape Verde, including the Forte Real de São Filipe (Royal Fortress), built in 1587, which overlooks the city. The Rua Banana (Slate Street) is the oldest colonial street in sub-Saharan Africa, and the ruins of the São Filipe Church are home to the first Christian church in West Africa.
Today, Old Cualar attracts visitors with historic sites, colorful homes and traditional music performances, and the local specialty, Cachupa, is highly prized. A cultural icon of Cape Verde, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2009 and is an important destination for exploring Atlantic Creole culture.
