history

Black Rock Beach (Leopa)

In 1893 the Maubara Empire , along with Atabae , revolted against the expansion of military and administrative control over Portugal . The Liurai attacked two Portuguese military posts in Dato and Vatuboro and tried to win the Dutch back as a protective power. As a result of the suppression of the uprising, cholera broke out in Maubara . In November the Liurai officially signed a written treaty with Portugal on Maubara's vassal status.

At the end of 1979 there was a so-called transit camp in Dato , in which the Indonesian occupiers interned East Timorese civilians. Large parts of Vila de Liquiçá were destroyed by pro-Indonesian militias during the East Timor crisis in 1999 .

During the church massacre in Liquiçá on April 6, 1999, between 61 and 200 people died by Indonesian security forces and militias, depending on the source.

300 families were left homeless when floods ravaged Dato, Luculai and Maumeta on January 1 and 2, 2008. 100 houses were completely destroyed, 90 more damaged. The population was able to be evacuated by the national police in time, so that no people were harmed.

Buildings

Former villa of the Portuguese administrator

In Dato, in Rua Kofi Annan, there are several buildings worth noting, which could be beneficial for a tourist development of the place. One of the most striking is the building of the Office of Administration (Posto Administrativo) with a representative of nine 5-meter-high pillared porch, two small, round and several large, pointed-arch windows and a, red-tiled typical of Portugal gable roof . Opposite is the Escola Primária elementary school , the oldest building of which dates back to the 1940s. In the same street, the Edifisu MOPTC , renovated in 2016, is worth seeing, an administrative building of the Ministry of Transport ( Portuguese Ministerio das Obras Públicas, Transportes a Comunicações ), which was built in 1936 in the neoclassical style and also under the previous name Escritório do Secretário-Adjunto do Administrador de Liquiçá is known. The former villa of the administrator of the Liquiçá district has the same architectural style with its representative open staircase. In front of the building, on the other side of the street, a small green area with shady pavilions was created.

At the end of Rua Kofi Annan, the former municipal primary school Escola Municipal , built in the 1920s, is worth seeing. The two-winged, neoclassical building is now owned by the diocese of Maliana .

Another remarkable building from the colonial era is the former Hotel Tokodede , which was built between 1930 and 1950 to accommodate Portuguese officials and officers traveling through. From its terrace there is an impressive view of the coconut palm beach.
