Andrelândia

Andrelândia extends across 1,005 square kilometers of terrain between mountains and valleys, with a population reaching 12,507 residents in the Mesoregion of South Minas Gerais.

The region developed from gold exploitation activities in the 1750s, leading to the establishment of a chapel that formed the nucleus of the future municipality.

The municipality maintains strong religious traditions through annual festivals, including the Feast of Saint Sebastian and Corpus Christi celebrations throughout the calendar year.

The local government provides digital platforms for accessing public services, financial data, and administrative information through the Municipal Prefecture website.

Archaeological sites in Serra de Santo Antonio contain rock paintings dating back 3,500 years, providing evidence of early human presence in the region.
