Conheça SIDERÓPOLIS no Sul de Santa Catarina

SIDERÓPOLIS: The Faith That Resisted Time and the History of Nova Belluno | SC In this episode of Arthur and Lika on the Trip, we explore Siderópolis, in southern Santa Catarina, in search of an Italian heritage that goes far beyond appearances. 🇮🇹✨ Our journey begins with a 4x4 adventure to the Serrinha Cave, where we learn that prudence off-road is what guarantees a safe return home. But the true heart of this video lies in the history of the Bento Estevão community. Did you know that an entire village was submerged for the creation of the São Bento River Dam? 🌊 What remains is the church tower, a silent memorial to faith and local history that refuses to disappear. We visit sanctuaries, waterfalls, and discover how the coal era transformed Nova Belluno into Siderópolis, without ever managing to extinguish the religiosity of its people.
