Loango

Loango City was prominent in Congo in the 1600s. Formerly dubbed the “beautiful city,” Loango featured well-built cities and craftsmanship of materials such as damasks, sarsenet, satin, taffeta, cloth of tissue and velvet. Then a booming trading center, copper and cloth were one of its largest exports until the city was ruined by European treasure hunters, pseudo-missionaries and others who took advantage of the resources within the city.
