The town of Ribeira Brava (colloquialy known in Cape Verdean Creole as Stanxa) is the town that constitutes the seat of the Ribeira Brava Municipality in Cape Verde. It takes its name from several ‘rough’ streams in the valley areas in the mountains to the west and also in the centre of the island of São Nicolau. The town is sandwiched between two mountains, Monte Fora to the north and Caleijão mountains to the south. Its streets and buildings stretch hundreds of metres within the valley. It serves as the center of business and trade for the surrounding areas. Its population is 4,982. It is one of the oldest towns in Cape Verde and was for many years the seat of the Roman Catholic Church in the islands.
