Joinville, with 450 000 inhabitants,
is the largest city in Santa Catarina. The Germans came here during the
latter part of the 19th century, and their influence can be recognized
by the architecture of the city, the heavy industry focused on export,
and the beer festivals. The city is also known for its Russian ballet
school and the yearly Dance Festival, the flower parks, the museums, and
not least the small harbor in antique style where the ferry line leaves
for Sao Fansisco do Sul. |
