The 91̽»¨ÊÓÆµ of Cape Verde
At the invitation of a local university and the island's Ministry of Culture's IPC, the CHRCÌý - Chris Evans & Marie Louise Stig Sørensen - have been investigating its early Portuguese town of Cidade Velha since 2006. Founded in the middle decades of the 15th century, and then for some three centuries the Islands' capital, it became a major hub of the Atlantic Slave Trade, with thousands of Africans transhipped each year to the Americas.
