Três Coroas

城市概覽

The first recorded settlement in this hilly region was a lot of land (sesmaria) granted by the Portuguese Crown to a certain Antônio Borges de Almeide Leães in 1814, a few years before Brazil became independent. Since the mid-19th century German and later Italian immigrants settled here forming the colony of Santa Maria do Mundo Novo, divided in three parts that today make up the towns of Três Coroas, Igrejinha and Taquara. Over the next century the town was known by half a dozen of different names, but in 1944 the name of was established as Três Coroas, after an araucaria tree with three crowns that was used as a landmark. Starting out as a farming colony with the river as the only way in and out, Três Coroas is today a city of 24,000 inhabitants (as of 2024) and together with nearby towns a center of footwear industry. In 1995 Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, a teacher of Vajrayana Tibetan Buddhism, established the Khadro Ling Temple on a hill a few kilometers northeast of Três Coroas. While it was not intended as a tourist attraction, the beautiful complex is a major attraction in the region and visitors are welcome.
