Lazareto is a city located in Cabo Verde. While the specific geographical details of this city are not provided in the source material, it shares its name with a type of quarantine station used for maritime travelers.
A lazaretto, also known as a lazaret or lazarette, serves as a facility to isolate individuals arriving by sea.
