Circasia, Mountain municipality in Quindío Department, Colombia
Located at an elevation of 1,772 meters, Circasia extends across 91 square kilometers of rolling terrain covered with coffee plantations and natural vegetation.
The municipality of Circasia was established in 1884 by Javier Arias and gained its administrative independence from Filandia in 1906.
The municipality contributes to Colombia's Coffee Cultural Landscape, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, with numerous coffee farms maintaining traditional cultivation methods.
The town center connects to Montenegro through a paved road and to Filandia via a rural route that crosses the Roble River at Aguadeños Pass.
The Free Cemetery, founded in 1933, stands as Colombia's first non-religious burial ground, allowing interments regardless of faith or social status.
