MAPUTO, MOZAMBIQUEMaputo is the capital and port city of Mozambique; it was known as Lourenzo Marques until 1976. The town developed around a Portuguese fortress completed in 1787; a city-town was created in 1887, and it superseded the town of Mozambique as the capital of Portuguese East Africa in 1907. Maputo’s healthful climate, tempered by sea breezes made it popular resort. When Mozambique became independent in 1975, revenues from tourism, once a major economic factor, virtually ceased. After independence, most whites emigrated from Maputo and returned to Portugal. |
