São Domingos, Rural municipality in Santiago Island, Cape Verde.

São Domingos spans across 137.6 square kilometers, featuring agricultural lands, mountain ranges, and several water streams leading to coastal plains.

The municipality emerged in 1993 through the separation of two parishes from Praia, marking a significant administrative transformation in Cape Verde's governance structure.

The municipality comprises two distinct parishes, Nossa Senhora da Luz and São Nicolau Tolentino, where local traditions merge with religious celebrations throughout the year.

The region maintains regular transportation connections to neighboring municipalities, with Vila da São Domingos serving as the administrative center at 251 meters elevation.

Agricultural practices in São Domingos include extensive banana plantations, contributing to the local economy and supporting numerous family-operated farms.
