Planaltina, Administrative region in Federal District, Brazil.
Planaltina is an administrative region covering roughly 1,500 square kilometers in eastern Goiás. The area includes both urban and rural zones, bordered by several neighboring settlements and serving as home to a growing population.
Settlement began in the late 18th century when José Gomes Rabelo founded a community near Lagoa Bonita lake and built a chapel dedicated to Saint Sebastian. This early foundation shaped the region's development into what it is today.
Multiple religious centers are found here, including the Vale do Amanhecer complex, which represents a distinct Brazilian spiritual movement. These places shape how residents experience their community and reflect the local spiritual diversity.
The region has a regional hospital offering multiple medical services and numerous schools serving different educational levels. Visitors will find more amenities and facilities in the urban areas, while rural sections are less developed.
In 1922, the Founding Stone marking the site of Brazil's future capital was placed near the region. This moment demonstrates the important connection between this area and the nation's expansion into the interior.
