Castro, Agricultural municipality in Paraná, Brazil.
Castro extends across rolling hills at an elevation of 988 meters, encompassing agricultural lands and residential districts within the state of Paraná.
The territory of Castro, discovered in 1704, transformed from indigenous settlements into an official municipality in 1857, marking a new phase of regional development.
The Dutch settlement of Castrolanda, established in 1951, brought agricultural expertise and traditions, including the construction of a 26-meter windmill in 2001.
The PR-151 road connects Castro to neighboring cities, while the local climate presents average temperatures of 25°C in summer and 11°C in winter.
