Belém do Pará

Belém is the biggest city of northern part of Brazil, the Amazonia. It is the capital of the state of Pará. Its metropolitan area has approximately 2.09 million inhabitants. It is the entrance gate and, together with Manaus, the most important city in the north of Brazil. It is also known as Metropolis of the Brazilian Amazon region or Cidade das Mangueiras (city of mango trees) due to the number of those trees found in the city.

Belém is served by the Val de Cães International Airport (BEL) that connects the city to the rest of the country and other cities in South America. Brazilians often refer to the city as Belém do Pará ("Belém of Pará") rather than just Belém so as to differentiate it from Bethlehem in the West Bank.

The city is home to the Federal University of Pará and has a rich history and architecture from colonal times, natural rubber boom, World War II, 1960-70s amazonic rediscovering and recently skyscraper boom.
