Santa Cecília

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.

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.

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

The area experiences freezing temperatures during winter months, so warmer clothing is needed when visiting during this time. The high elevation and hilly terrain affect the local climate and require proper preparation for cooler conditions.

The municipality records temperature variations that reach below zero degrees Celsius during winter months due to its high elevation in Santa Catarina state.
