Sombrio, Municipality in Santa Catarina, Brazil.

Located at an elevation of 6 meters, Sombrio extends over 142 square kilometers in the Sul Catarinense region of Santa Catarina state.

The settlement of Sombrio began in 1820 when travelers established rest areas under large fig trees that provided shade along their routes.

The municipality celebrates multiple annual festivities, including the city birthday on December 30 and the Festa do Padroeiro on June 13.
