Museu da Resistência
Museu da Resistência (Tarrafal, Santiago) – originally built in 1936 to detain opponents of Portuguese dictator António Salazar, it ended up housing freedom fighters who were waging wars of liberation from Portuguese colonial rule in not only Cape Verde, but other African colonies like Angola and Guinea-Bissau. This prison, which was shut down after Portugal’s “Carnation Revolution” in 1974, was converted into a museum.
