Porto Calvo, Colonial municipality in Alagoas, Brazil
Porto Calvo extends across 313 square kilometers of land in northeastern Brazil, positioned at an elevation of 17 meters above sea level.
The settlement was established in 1636 when Portuguese colonists developed the region, constructing a chapel and seven sugar mills under Cristovao Lins's leadership.
The annual festivals of Nossa Senhora da Apresentacao on November 21 and the Emancipation Day on April 12 bring together local residents.
The municipality connects to neighboring cities Jundia, Matriz de Camaragibe, Porto de Pedras, Japaratinga, Maragogi, and Jacuipe through regional road networks.
The name originates from a local legend about an elderly bald man who constructed a port, which became known as the port of the bald one.
