235 İnsanı Burada Sattılar! Avrupa'nın En Karanlık Yeri / KÖLE PAZARI

We're heading to Lagos, the heart of Portugal's Algarve region, famous for its turquoise waters, breathtaking cliffs, and captivating coastline! 🇵🇹 In this video, we're not only exploring the glittering beaches that grace postcards, but also unveiling, step by step, a powerful institutional memory and secrets hidden behind walls that have profoundly shaped world history. Although geographically situated on the turbulent Atlantic coast, Lagos, with its whitewashed houses, bougainvillea-lined streets, and warm sunshine, possesses the spirit of a true Mediterranean town, and its history is far deeper than it appears. Our journey begins with the São Gonçalo de Lagos statue, the city's spiritual guardian and monument to sailors. Then, we delve into the city's pre-Portuguese kingdom era, specifically the period known as Zawaia (Zawaya), its Arabic name during the Umayyad Caliphate of Andalusia. Walking through the streets of this ancient walled exploration base, we discover the other side of the coin; So, we are confronting those dark rooms where Europe's first official slave market was established. At the Lagos Slave Market Museum (Mercado de Escravos), we examine archival documents to see how colonialism shaped the human mind with shackles, customs documents, and even religious propaganda paintings. At the end of the video, we witness the bridges of peace, dialogue, and sister city relationships that Lagos has built with its painful past as part of UNESCO's global "Slave Route" project. 00:00 - Introduction and Arrival in Lagos 01:30 - Lagos City Center and Historic Streets 03:15 - Europe's First Slave Market (Mercado de Escravos) 05:45 - Infante D.
