Capital status
National capital of Mozambique
Maputo is the capital and largest city of Mozambique, the country's political, economic, and cultural centre, with a city population of roughly 1.1 to 1.3 million. It runs on Central Africa Time (CAT, UTC+2) year-round and has done so without daylight saving since 1908; the IANA database uses Africa/Maputo as the reference zone for much of southern and central Africa. Set on a large natural bay on the Indian Ocean in the far south of the country, Maputo was known as Lourenço Marques during the Portuguese colonial era and was renamed after independence in 1975. Its deep-water port is a major outlet for landlocked neighbours including South Africa and Eswatini, and the city is known for its broad tree-lined avenues and a blend of Portuguese colonial and modernist architecture.
