Igrejinha

城市概覽

Igrejinha is a town of about 38,000 inhabitants in the Paranhana River valley. During the 19th century, German immigrants settled the colony of Santa Maria do Mundo Novo, which was split into an upper, middle and lower part. Today these correspond to the towns of Três Coroas, Igrejinha and Taquara.
