Porto Real

The origin of the name Porto Real (meaning royal port) is associated with the constant presence of the Royal Family, which used to make a stop in the hamlet during their summer travels.

The touristic importance of this city is also connected to the traditions of Italian culture brought more than one hundred years ago by Italian immigrants who made this place the 1st Italian colony in Brazil, always present in the typical festivals of the city.
