Rolândia

Rolândia is a municipality in Northern Brazil situated on elevated terrain surrounded by agricultural fields of soybeans, corn, and wheat. The town center connects to nearby regions through two main highways that link it to larger cities in the state.

German immigrants founded this settlement in the early 1900s and named it after Roland, a medieval figure symbolizing freedom in German culture. This founding shaped the place's character and established traditions that continue to influence the community today.

The community shows strong ties to German and Japanese traditions through annual celebrations featuring regional food, music, and local customs. You can experience these cultural influences by visiting during festivals or observing how daily life reflects these heritages.

Two main highways provide good road connections to larger cities in the region and help visitors navigate to the area. The nearest international airport is located in Londrina and can be reached by car from the town.

The main church houses both a wax museum displaying world figures and a sacred museum with regional religious objects. This unusual combination of secular and spiritual collections under one roof makes the church a surprisingly diverse place to visit.
