Luanda is the capital and largest city of Angola, home to approximately 9 million residents — making it one of Africa's largest cities and among the fastest-growing. It operates on West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1), a fixed year-round offset. Angola is one of sub-Saharan Africa's most important oil producers, and Luanda — once ranked by Mercer as the world's most expensive city for expatriates — has been dramatically shaped by petrodollar wealth. The city's Ilha do Cabo (Cape Island) peninsula, offering beaches and restaurants along its length, contrasts sharply with the musseques (informal settlements) that house the majority of the population. Angola was a Portuguese colony from the 15th century until independence in 1975, and Portuguese remains the official language, giving Luanda a distinctive Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) character unique in sub-Saharan Africa. The Fortaleza de São Miguel, built by the Portuguese in 1576, is one of Angola's oldest surviving colonial structures. Angola's Okavango Delta and Kalandula Falls rank among Africa's natural wonders.
