Before the 2015 regional reform, Luca had an area of ​​119.44 km². Now there are 121.29 km². The Suco is located in the southwest of the administrative office of Viqueque, on the shores of the Timor Sea in the south. To the east are the Sucos Bahalarauain and Bibileo , to the north the administrative office Lacluta with its Sucos Ahic and Uma Tolu . In the west, Luca borders on the Barique administrative office (municipality of Manatuto ) with its sucos Aubeon and Fatuwaque . The border is formed by the largest river in the region, the Dilor . Cape Ponta de Luca in the east is already in Bibileo. Lake Lagoa Uafau lies on the eastern border of the Sucos , in the center of the Lagoa Cailao and on the northwest border of the Lagoa Fukira . A river flows from the Cailao and flows into the Nunuc . The Nunuc flows into the Timor Sea in the Suco, as does the Luca further east .

The southern coastal road, one of the most important traffic routes in East Timor, runs right through the Suco. The larger settlements Lucas lie on it, on the eastern border of the Sucos to the neighboring Suco Bibileo lie several places that together form a closed settlement center: These are Canlor , Uma Lor ( Umalor ), according to some sources also Iramer and Uma Boot ( Umabot , Uma Bot ). A source names the place in the center, near the Lagoa Cailao, Uma Boot and near the Lagoa Fukira, Iramer . A second source places the places in the eastern settlement center, but places a primary school and a pre-secondary school on the western Iramer and a primary school on the Uma boat in the center. There is also a primary school in the eastern settlement center and a medical station in the west.

The four Aldeias Canlor , Iramer , Uma Boot and Uma Lor are located in the Suco .

history

The empires of Timor around 1700

The kingdom of Luca also appears on a list by Afonso de Castro , a former governor of Portuguese Timor , who in 1868 listed 47 empires in the eastern part of the island ruled by a liurai ( Timorese petty king ).

According to the European sources of the time, Luca or Likusaen (today: Liquiçá ) ruled the east of the island. It seems certain that Lucas's influence extended to the north of the island into today's Baucau . Oral traditions from Ossorua and Babulo tell of Lucas residents who once emigrated to the Uato-Laris coastal plains and settled there after a descendant of the Luca Empire was made ruler of Uaitame and Vessoru by the Portuguese . Here they form part of today's Makasae-speaking population.

The Dominican Manuel de Santo António settled here around 1700 and successfully converted the rulers of the region to Christianity. In 1701 he was appointed Bishop of Malacca . He kept his seat in Timor and was thus the first bishop on the island.

In 1777 (according to other sources 1776, 1779 or 1781) the kingdom of Luca arose, due to repression against the animistic religion, in a revolt against the Portuguese colonial rulers that lasted until 1785, the " war of the mad " ( Portuguese guerra de loucas , also called guerra dos doidas ). A "prophetess" had announced to the warriors that the ancestors would support them to shake off the yoke of the strangers. The warriors believed they were invulnerable. The rebellion was put down by Governor João Baptista Vieira Godinho (1785-1788) with the help of Viqueque.

In 1868 Luca supported the Portuguese colonial rulers with troops in suppressing the rebellion in Cowa . In April 1896, Luca signed a written contract with Portugal on his vassal status.

In 1982 the inhabitants of Uma Tolu were forcibly deported by the Indonesian occupiers first to Dilor and then to Uma Lor.
