Santa Cruz Cemetery
On 12 November 1991, Indonesian soldiers fired on a peaceful memorial procession at the Santa Cruz Cemetery . More than 200 civilians died, many of them after they were rounded up and trucked away by the military. One of the people killed was Kamal Bamadhaj, a New Zealand citizen and the subject of the film Punitive Damage ; two of the many people the soldiers beat up turned out to be American journalists.

Waterfront
Dili's lively waterfront is lined tangible references to East Timor's present and past. Groups of men pass hours playing cards or talking politics beneath the banyan trees. Faded Portuguese-style buildings - once the preserve of colonial officials - line the pockmarked esplanade, interspersed with businesses, burnt-out buildings and refugee camps.
