A ilha do Fogo ou a ilha de S\u00e3o Filipe, como era conhecida aquando da descoberta em 1460 pelos portugueses, foi a segunda a ser povoada entre 1470 e 1490.\u00a0A sua ocupa\u00e7\u00e3o foi preconizada por ricos propriet\u00e1rios da Ribeira Grande de Santiago (Cidade Velha), com os seus escravos, no seguimento da carta de limita\u00e7\u00e3o de privil\u00e9gios de 1472, que obrigava os moradores de Santiago a comercializarem, na costa africana, somente produtos origin\u00e1rios da ilha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N\u00e3o obstante esta limita\u00e7\u00e3o, estes moradores aproveitaram a oportunidade para estender as suas produ\u00e7\u00f5es de algod\u00e3o para ilha do Fogo, sendo este utilizado para comercializa\u00e7\u00e3o na costa africana, mesmo sabendo que estavam infringindo a lei.\u00a0\u00c9 neste contexto que S\u00e3o Filipe surgiu como primeiro centro urbano da ilha, emergindo no espa\u00e7o onde foi constru\u00eddo a capela de S\u00e3o Felipe, local onde hoje fica o denominado \u201ccemit\u00e9rio de baixo\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tler mais\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n

As slave trade in Ribeira Grande (Cidade Velha), S\u00e3o Filipe played a crucial role, because the main product of exchange in the rescue of slaves on the African coast was cotton. The cloth produced on the island of Fogo was very appreciated in the slave trade, thus leading the Portuguese Crown, in 1687, to prohibit its commercialization to the competing maritime powers (France, Holland and England).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with the decline of Ribeira Grande, in the 18th century, S\u00e3o Filipe experienced a period of economic decline, leading large landowners to replace cotton production with other crops, including legumes, wine, coffee and purgueira. Therefore, S\u00e3o Filipe experienced an economic increase, with the export of corn and beans to Madeira and the Canary Islands, but also coffee and wine, the latter being highly appreciated in the Brazilian market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, the production and export of the island allowed the enrichment of the local elite, with significant repercussions in terms of the urban buildings of S\u00e3o Filipe, in the specific case of the townhouses, which dominate the urban fabric of this historic center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Historic Centre of S\u00e3o Filipe was registered on the Cabo Verdean of Indicative List for UNESCO on 16 March 2016, for criteria IV and VI.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tler menos\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
