Porto Novo, 22 Oct. (Inforpress) – The town of Ribeira das Patas today celebrates today, with an un retraining day, the 11th anniversary of its rise to city status, a date that coincides with the creation of the parish of Saint John Paul II.

A solemn Mass in honour of the saint, a round table devoted to the challenges of local development, the launch of a contest for the creation of the coat of arms and other official symbols of the locality, and a gala dinner are included in the program of celebrations in Ribeira das Patas.

Raised to city status on 22 October 2015, Ribeira das Patas has benefited, in eleven years, from several infrastructure much expected by the population, including a municipal delegation, a health centre and an ATM (DAB).

Prior to this, this town, which is the main urban centre within the municipality of Porto Novo, had already recorded several advances, including the construction of the António Silva Pinto High School, inaugurated in December 2007.
