Estância, Municipality in Sergipe, Brazil

Located 66 kilometers from Aracaju, Estância extends across 644 square kilometers of land with a population of 69,556 residents at an elevation of 45 meters.

The settlement originated in 1621 when João Mendes, head of the Captaincy of Sergipe, granted land to Pedro Homem da Costa for cattle raising activities.

The Church of Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe stands as the first religious structure in the area, marking Mexican Catholic influences within Brazilian religious architecture.

The city maintains strong industrial sectors in food processing, textiles, and metallurgy, while agriculture focuses on coconut and mangaba cultivation.

Emperor Dom Pedro II designated Estância as the garden of Sergipe due to its numerous tiled houses and natural landscape features.
