Santarém, Regional administrative hub in Pará, Brazil.
Santarém extends across 22,887 square kilometers at the meeting point of the Tapajós and Amazon Rivers in northern Brazil's Pará state.
Portuguese colonists established the settlement in 1661 around a chapel constructed by Father João Filipe Bettendorff, initially naming it Aldeia do Tapajós.
The Metropolitan Cathedral stands as a central religious monument, representing the architectural evolution and spiritual heritage of the municipality.
The municipality provides digital access to administrative services through the official portal, including property tax payments and documentation requests.
The region contains over 100 kilometers of natural beaches along the Tapajós River, with Alter do Chão hosting the annual Sairé festival.
