Castelo, Historic municipality in Espírito Santo, Brazil
Castelo stretches across 664 square kilometers in southwestern Espírito Santo state, with mountains and forests surrounding its urban center at 540 meters elevation.
The territory transitioned from native Puris and Botocudos tribes to gold prospectors in the 18th century, before establishing itself as a municipality in 1928.
Italian immigrants shaped the municipality's identity through agricultural practices, religious celebrations, and Piedmontese dance traditions that continue today.
