Urussanga, Municipality in Santa Catarina, Brazil.

Urussanga stretches across 237 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 49 meters, featuring a combination of urban areas and agricultural landscapes.

The municipality originated as a settlement founded by engineer Joaquim Vieira Ferreira in 1878, establishing itself as a central point for Italian immigration.

The municipality celebrates its Italian heritage through the Wine Festival in August during even years and Ritorno alle Origini in odd years.

The city connects to major routes through SC-446 highway to Criciúma and Orleans, while SC-445 provides access to the BR-101 through Morro da Fumaça.

The name Urussanga derives from Tupi language meaning very cold water, reflecting the temperature variations that range from -6 to 42 degrees Celsius.
