BANANA POINT

A few kilometers from Moanda, the river flows into the ocean. Banana was the oldest colonial post. European trading posts had been established here since the early ^19th century, while the port had been an active slave market since the time of the Portuguese in the ^15th century. A few remains can still be seen: ruined cottages, anklets, small rusty cannons... On the other side of the mouth, you can see Soyo in Angola. A project to build a deep-water port has been on the drawing board for decades.
