Maceió, Coastal capital in Alagoas, Brazil
The city extends along a strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Norte Lagoon, featuring numerous white sand beaches and palm-lined shores.
The settlement started around a sugar mill in 1815, evolving from a small village to become the capital of Alagoas state in 1839.
The Metropolitan Cathedral and Government Palace display colonial architecture while the Federal University of Alagoas shapes the educational landscape since 1961.
The Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport connects the city with major Brazilian destinations, while urban trains serve local transportation needs.
Deep wells near the city produce brine for chemical industries, contributing to the industrial sector alongside sugar refineries and textile production.
