Catumbela

Catumbela is a city and municipality of the Benguela province in Angola. The municipality had a population of 175,805 in 2014.

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the Portuguese built Forte de São Pedro to establish themselves in Benguela. Today, the fort is in a dilapidated condition, but plans are being made to restore it and turn it into a museum.

Catumbela was a commune in the municipality of Lobito until 2011, when it became a municipality in its own right.

Catumbela is served by a station on the national railway network as well as Catumbela Airport.
