Angra dos Reis, Coastal municipality with 300 islands in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Located in the southern region of Rio de Janeiro state, Angra dos Reis spans across 816 square kilometers of coastline and mountainous terrain.
Portuguese navigator Gaspar de Lemos arrived at Ilha Grande on January 6, 1502, naming the area Angra dos Reis due to its discovery on Kings' Day.
The Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, built in the 17th century, represents the colonial architectural heritage of this maritime community.
The municipality connects to major cities through highways, railways, and an airport, while its port handles substantial crude oil transportation.
Two nuclear power stations, Angra I and Angra II, operate within the municipality, contributing to Brazil's energy infrastructure.
