Vitória de Santo Antão, Administrative center in Pernambuco, Brazil
Located 46 kilometers west of Recife, Vitória de Santo Antão spans across 335 square kilometers of land with tropical savanna climate at 162 meters elevation.
The settlement emerged in 1626 through António Diogo de Braga, a Portuguese settler from Cape Verde, transforming from a 4,000-inhabitant village into a city by 1811.
The municipality celebrates the Festa de São Sebastião with religious ceremonies, traditional music performances, and regional food presentations throughout the festivities.
The city maintains 57 health establishments and provides municipal services from its administrative center at Rua Demócrito Cavalcanti, with direct bus connections to Recife.
The production of Pitú cachaça and extensive sugarcane cultivation contribute to Vitória de Santo Antão's position as the eighth largest economy in Pernambuco.
