Furna is a seaside community in the northeastern part of the island of Brava, Cape Verde. It lies 2.5 km northeast of the island capital of Vila Nova Sintra. Furna became the most important harbour of Brava in 1843.〔Reitmeier, Pitt: ''Cabo Verde'', p.415. Bielefeld 2009.〕 In 1982, many boats and some houses of Furna were destroyed by waves reaching a height of up to 10 meters which were caused by the tropical storm ''Beryl''.〔Osang, Rolf: ''Kapverdische Inseln'', p.151. Cologne 2001.〕 The harbour was improved in 2000.〔Lipps, Susanne: ''Kapverdische Inseln'', p.270. Ostfildern 2009.〕 The new yellow school near the small church in the South of the village, which was paid by the government of Belgium, has large wall paintings motivating the children to save as much water as possible and to help keeping the island green. ==External links== *(Furna School Website ) *(Escola da Furna Website (Portuguese) ) *(The Port of Furna on portfocus.com ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Furna (Brava)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
