Bissau

Capital and chief port of Guinea-Bissau, on an island at the mouth of the Geba River; population (2002 est) 288,300. Originally a Portuguese fortified slave-trading centre (1687), Bissau became a free port in 1869.

There are refrigeration units at the port, and there is an international airport and a university. Bissau replaced Bolama as the capital in 1941.
