Nzeto Coast

The coast at Nzeto lies south of the Congo River mouth, along a shore that once held a chain of Atlantic trading places. Known to Portuguese traders as Ambrizete, it stood among ports linked to the inland markets of Kongo. Captives brought through these networks were shipped across the Atlantic, while imported goods travelled inland. The coast between Nzeto and the river estuary contained several trading posts, connected by sea and by routes leading toward the kingdom's interior.
