Cruz, Administrative municipality in coastal Ceará, Brazil
Cruz is a municipality in northeastern Brazil located in the state of Ceará, encompassing both coastal and rural areas. The place combines urban settlements with agricultural lands, positioned in a region shaped by its proximity to the Atlantic coast.
The municipality was officially established in 1985, marking an important transition in the region's development. This change followed growing settlement patterns along the coast and the need for improved local administration.
The Igreja Cruz stands as a central religious structure in the municipality, reflecting the Portuguese influence on local architectural and spiritual practices.
The place connects to other regions through the nearby Jericoacoara Airport and has basic public services available. Visitors should plan ahead, as it is a smaller municipality without all the amenities found in larger cities.
The area is part of the Litoral de Camocim e Acaraú microregion, a northern coastal zone known for its location along the Atlantic. This coastal positioning influences local agriculture, fishing practices, and how residents live.
