Santa Cecília, City in Santa Catarina, Brazil

Description

Santa Cecília is a municipality in Santa Catarina, located in the mountainous region of southern Brazil at around 978 meters in elevation. The settlement spreads across roughly 1,145 square kilometers with scattered residential areas and agricultural land throughout the territory.

History

The municipality was established in 1958 through separation from Curitibanos, forming as an independent administrative entity from that existing area. Its creation on June 21, 1958 resulted from administrative restructuring processes taking place across the region.

Culture

The population of 16,918 residents maintains local traditions through regular municipal celebrations and community gatherings at the central administrative buildings.

Practical
