Itumbiara, Municipal center in Goiás, Brazil

Located in southern Goiás at 448 meters elevation, Itumbiara extends across 2,461 square kilometers along the border with Minas Gerais state.

Originally named Santa Rita do Paranaíba, the settlement grew around a tax collection post established in 1824 for travelers between Uberaba and Anhanguera.

The city celebrates its connection to water through an annual river procession of Our Lady of the Graces, drawing participants from across the region each August.

Three hospitals with 232 beds serve the population of 107,970 residents, while 58 schools provide education to more than 25,000 students in the municipality.

The Affonso Penna Bridge, connecting Goiás to Minas Gerais, stands as a central landmark over the artificial lake used for water sports and recreation.
