Campos dos Goytacazes

The Paraíba do Sul River defines the setting of Campos dos Goytacazes — its lowland course has shaped farming, settlement and connections across the northern part of Rio de Janeiro state. Known simply as Campos in everyday Brazilian usage, it is the principal city of the Norte Fluminense region and a long-standing centre of commerce, education and services. Sugar-cane cultivation helped form the local economy, while streets and squares retain churches and civic buildings from different periods. The Catedral Basílica Menor do Santíssimo Salvador on Praça São Salvador remains a central landmark and a focus of religious life. The municipality stretches from the river plain towards the Atlantic coast. Discover other points of interest through webcams across Campos dos Goytacazes and northern Rio de Janeiro.
