Celebrating 300 Years of Rich History: A Tribute to Restaurant Angola, Lisbon, Portugal This postcard commemorates the 300-year anniversary of Restaurant Angola, a renowned establishment in Lisbon, Portugal, that pays homage to the historical ties between Portugal and Angola. The illustration on the postcard features a beautiful tile pattern taken from the restaurant's walls, which depicts the Church of Our Lady of Nazareth in Luanda, Angola. Built in 1664, the Church of Our Lady of Nazareth is a significant historical landmark in Luanda, Angola's capital city. The church, designed with a facade facing the Bay and towards the Church of Our Lady of the Cape, stands proudly on the site where the Fort of Santa Cruz previously stood. The fort was a crucial Portuguese colonial outpost in the African territory. Governor Andre Vidal Negreiros underwrote the chapel's construction, reflecting the deep connection between Portugal and its African colony. The African coat of arms, visible on the tile pattern, further emphasizes this historical link. The tile pattern's intricate design is a testament to the rich cultural heritage that the Portuguese brought to Angola and continues to influence the region today. This postcard is a beautiful reminder of the long and complex history between Portugal and Angola, a history that is celebrated and honored at Restaurant Angola in Lisbon. The restaurant's dedication to preserving this history makes every meal a unique and memorable experience for visitors.
