Nova Sintra, Municipality capital in Brava Island, Cape Verde
Nova Sintra extends across an elevation of 500 meters, featuring colonial buildings, dragon trees, and views of Santa Bárbara village and Furna harbor.
Portuguese settlers established Nova Sintra in the 15th century, naming it after Sintra, the traditional summer residence of Portuguese monarchs.
The central Praça Eugénio Tavares contains a monument to the notable Cape Verdean writer, situated next to his former residence.
Transportation within the region operates through aluguer buses departing from the town center, connecting Nova Sintra to surrounding villages.
The town maintains a rare dragon tree specimen near the local bank, while the Igreja do Nazareno stands as the island's earliest Protestant church.
