Santo Antonio in Sao Tome and Principe SAO TOME ET PRINCIPE sao-tome-and-principe. santo-antonio Informations and links Santo Antonio Map Santo Antonio Photos Santo Antonio Population on 25-Aug-01 : 1010 ------------------------------- Santo Ant?nio is the main settlement of Pr?ncipe island in S?o Tom? and Pr?ncipe and was the then colony's capital from 1753 until 1852. It lies on the north east coast and the Palhota River. It serves as the capital of both Pr?ncipe Province and the district of Pagu? and has an estimated population of 1,200 residents. The town is known for its colonial architecture and for its churches, the largest of which is the main Roman Catholic church, begun in 1947. The town is also known for the Auto da Floripes play. Santo Ant?nio are linked with remote unpaved roads that link to the northern and the southern part of the island as well as to near the mountain. Santo Ant?nio has a school or a collegiate (colegio), churches, beaches, a small port and a few squares (pra?as). The municipality is the least developed in S?o Tom? and Pr?ncipe. Discovered and claimed by Portugal in the late 15th century, the islands' sugar-based economy gave way to coffee and cocoa in the 19th century - all grown with plantation slave labor, a form of which lingered into the 20th century. Although independence was achieved in 1975, democratic reforms were not instituted until the late 1980s. Though the first free elections were held in 1991, the political environment has been one of continued instability with frequent changes in leadership and coup attempts in 1995 and 2003. The recent discovery of oil in the Gulf of Guinea is likely to have a significant impact on the country's economy..
