Natal is the capital city of Rio Grande do Norte state in northeastern Brazil. Founded on December 25, 1599, the city gets its name from the Portuguese word for Christmas. Located at the closest point of the South American continent to Africa, Natal sits along the Atlantic coast where the Potengi River meets the ocean. The city is known for its extensive coastal dunes, pristine beaches, and strong Portuguese colonial heritage.
Natal played a significant strategic role during World War II when it served as an important Allied air base. The city has developed into a notable cultural center in northeastern Brazil, with various cultural spaces and museums preserving both its historical heritage and contemporary arts. The local culture is deeply influenced by Portuguese traditions, indigenous customs, and African influences, which are reflected in its music, dance, and crafts.
