São Tomé is the capital city of São Tomé and Príncipe and is by far the nation's largest town. Its name is Portuguese for "Saint Thomas". The population of its agglomeration is 56,945 (2008 est.).
São Tomé was founded by Alvaro Caminha in 1493. The Portuguese came to São Tomé in search of land to grow sugar. The island was uninhabited before the arrival of the Portuguese sometime around 1470. São Tomé was right on the equator and wet enough to grow sugar in wild abundance. Its proximity to the African Kingdom of Kongo provided an eventual source of slave labourers to work the sugar plantations. São Tomé is centred on a sixteenth-century cathedral. Another early building is Fort São Sebastião, built in 1575 and now the São Tomé National Museum. In 1599, the city as well as the islands were taken by the Dutch for two days and again in 1641 for a year. It was the capital of the Portuguese colony of São Tomé and Príncipe and, since São Tomé and Príncipe's independence in 1975, capital of the sovereign nation.

Situated off the Atlantic coast of Africa, the twin archipelago Sao Tome and Principe was once the world's leading producer of cocoa. Today the island nation is promoting itself as a tourist destination and its numbers of visitors are, slowly, rising.
The island of São Tomé is one of the world's biodiversity hot spots, home to hundreds of species found nowhere else on the globe. But farmers struggling to make a living here are encroaching into protected areas. They cut down trees for firewood and clear land for crops, putting the survival of these species at risk. By working with these farmers to produce more sustainably, IFAD hopes to save this unique environment before it's gone.

Quelque part au large de l'Afrique, il existe un archipel isolé sur lequel pousse un arbre au parfum exceptionnel : Des graines de son fruit, la cabosse, on en fait des aliments parmi les plus appréciés et les plus consommés au monde : le cacao et le chocolat. L'histoire du cacao est intimement lié aux îles de Sao Tomé et Principe qui forme dans le golfe de guinée le deuxième plus petit état africain, et c'est à Principe que vit un robinson crusoé qui bouscule aujourd'hui les goûts et les codes de la planète chocolat, Claudio Corallo.
