The map
Nampula is the capital of Nampula Province and one of the largest cities in Mozambique. It sits well inland from the Indian Ocean on a plateau dotted with dramatic granite inselbergs. From above, the city appears as a compact planned centre surrounded by much larger areas of informal neighbourhoods that stretch in every direction.
The centre follows a regular layout with wide avenues, a cathedral and administrative buildings, a legacy of the colonial-era town it grew from. Beyond it, the map shifts sharply: dense, irregular clusters of homes spread outward along paths and minor roads, forming a fine texture that covers most of the urban area.
The railway linking the port of Nacala with the interior passes through the city, and roads lead east toward the historic Island of Mozambique. A Nampula map poster brings together the formal centre, the extensive neighbourhoods and the transport lines that have made the city a hub for the entire north of the country.
The central area is laid out with straight avenues and regular blocks, a clear geometric core set within the much larger surrounding city.
Extensive informal districts cover the outskirts in a dense, irregular pattern of small plots and paths, producing a rich texture on the poster.
The rail line from the coast crosses the city, a long, steady feature linking Nampula with the port and with the interior beyond.

Why Nampula
Nampula holds meaning for residents, returning family members and development workers who have spent time in northern Mozambique. The contrast between the orderly centre and the textured surroundings makes a thoughtful piece for a wall.
The title, subtitle and coordinates can all be personalised with names, dates or a short message. The map is available in Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand, so you can choose a finish that suits your home.
