Joinville
Joinville, in northern Santa Catarina - 180km/112mi north of Florianópolis and 130km/80mi south of Curitiba - is the most important industrial center in the state, but also attracts tourists with its trim half-timbered houses built by German settlers. It developed out of the Colìnia Dona Francisca, which was established in 1851 on land presented to the Prince de Joinville on the occasion of his marriage to Dona Francisca Carolina, sister of Dom Pedro II. The settlement was established on the initiative of the Colonization Society of Hamburg and was occupied by settlers from Germany, Switzerland and Norway.
