Vigia, Colonial municipality in northeastern Pará, Brazil
Located at 22 meters above sea level, Vigia extends over 539 square kilometers of land near the Atlantic coast of northern Brazil.
Francisco Caldeira Castelo Branco established Vigia in 1616 as a military outpost to monitor vessel traffic along the regional waterways.
The Cirio de Vigia religious celebration, established in the 17th century, stands as the oldest devotional procession in the state of Pará.
The municipal fish market, constructed between 1943 and 1945, serves as the central point for the distribution of fresh seafood from local fishermen.
In 1977, numerous reports of unexplained lights prompted the Brazilian Air Force to launch Operation Prato to investigate these phenomena.
