Portalegre, Municipal center in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

Located at an elevation of 589 meters, Portalegre extends across 110 square kilometers in the northeastern state of Rio Grande do Norte.

The settlement received its official designation as a village on December 8, 1761, making it the third established village in Rio Grande do Norte.

The municipality takes its name from Portalegre in Portugal's Alentejo region, reflecting the Portuguese influence in northeastern Brazil's development.

The Terminal Turistico da Bica and Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Church stand among the main attractions for visitors exploring this Brazilian municipality.

During the Revolution of 1817, Portalegre served as the revolutionary capital of the western portion of Rio Grande do Norte.
