Brades
Brades (also Brades Estate; approximate population 1,000) is a village and the de facto capital of the Caribbean island of Montserrat since 1998.〔Leonard, T. M. (2005). ''Encyclopedia of the Developing World''. Routledge. pp.1083. ISBN 978-1-57958-388-0〕
==History==
The official capital of Montserrat at Plymouth in the south of the island was abandoned in 1997 after it was buried by the eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano. Interim government buildings have since been built at Brades, becoming the new capital in 1998. The move was initially intended to be temporary, but it has remained the island's ''de facto'' capital ever since. Several names have been suggested for the new capital now being constructed in the Little Bay area. These include Port Diana, in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Montserrat Asks to Re-name Capital after Diana )〕 and St Patrick's, to commemorate the March 17th Uprising and to attract Irish-American tourists. In support of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, the Primary School in Brades participated in a "special 'world peace' project" which was revealed at the Games, in which they submitted a quilt symbolizing peace, including a depiction of the flag of Montserrat.
