Viçosa, Alagoas, Municipal administrative center in Alagoas, Brazil.

Located 86 kilometers from Maceio, Viçosa extends across 354 square kilometers of land formerly covered by Atlantic Rain Forest.

The region served as a refuge for escaped slaves during colonial times and contained parts of the Quilombo dos Palmares resistance settlement.

Writer Graciliano Ramos drew inspiration from Viçosa for his novel São Bernardo, while Cardinal Primate of Brazil Dom Avelar called this city home.

The municipal Ouvidoria office manages citizen communications, processing requests, complaints, and suggestions regarding public services and local governance.

The municipality was known as Vila de Assembleia until 1943 due to frequent resident gatherings before adopting its current name.
