Nampula

Nampula is the commercial heart of Mozambique, with banks, hotels, tennis clubs, supermarkets and large glass-fronted stores selling expensive motorcars, but it is not the place for a holiday. The skyline of the town is dominated by the twin cupola called Cathedral de Nosa Senhora da Conceicao which the locals irreverently call 'Gina Lollobrigida'.

Tucked in the rolling hills and rising mountains of the interior, this modern town was established as a regional centre in 1967 when the Portuguese government transferred the army headquarters from Mozambique Island to here.
