KNOWLEDGE OF Florianópolis
Florianópolis (also known as Floripa) is the capital city of Santa Catarina State in southern Brazil. It is an island city with a population of 386.913 (2004/IBGE). Its metropolitan area has a population of about 800,000 inhabitants.
It is surrounded by smaller islands with forts, which protected ships in the 17th century. Most of the population lives on the island's northern half. The southern half is more isolated and less developed. Although originally settled by the Portuguese (from the Islands of Açores), like the rest of the state, the city has a strong German and Italian influence. Florianópolis is a popular destination for South American tourists, because of its location and white sand beaches.
