It is a historic space in the city, located in the Chioco neighborhood southwest of the headquarters and symbolizes the arrival of the first Portuguese settlers in Angola.
The zero coordinate of Lubango is known as “Barracões”.
In 1885, the first Portuguese arrived here and founded the Sá da Bandeira colony. A visit to the beginnings of the city.
The highlands of Chela had been known since 1630. The climate and agricultural potential immediately caught Portuguese attention.
Agricultural settlements such as Alba Nova (1769) and Humpata (1882) began dotting the region.
With the idea of founding a new area of agricultural and livestock exploration, on January 19, 1885, the first settlers arrived on the lands of current Lubango.
There were 222 Portuguese coming from the island of Madeira. On the banks of the Caculuvar, three kilometers from the center of the current capital of the province, they built two huge structures made of wattle and daub with a grass roof (one for men and one for women) where they temporarily housed themselves. These “sheds” gave the place its name.

It is a historic site in the city, located in the Chioco neighborhood southwest of the city center and symbolizes the arrival of the first Portuguese settlers in Angola. As a result of the presence of the colonists, a cemetery was built on the site, which stands out from the others because it is where the first settlers are buried. A church was also built on the site, which became an important element of the religious presence of the time in the area.
