Nossa Senhora do Monte is a village located in the heart of the island of Brava, Cape Verde. It was founded in 1826, and a few years later it became the seat of a bishop.[2] In 1862 Nossa Senhora do Monte became a place of pilgrimage.[3] There are a sightworthy Catholic pilgrimage church and a smaller Adventist Church in the village. Several shops and small bars are to be found in Main Street. Several times a day, Nossa Senhora do Monte can be reached by "Aluguer" bus from Nova Sintra.
Nossa Senhora do Monte is surrounded by mountains. Monte Fontainhas, Brava's tallest mountain reaching a height of 976 meters, is close to the village.
