The municipality of Candiota (9,406 inhabitants in 2017; 93,383 ha) is
located 400 km south-west of Porto Alegre.
Candiota was the site of the
battle of Seival won on 10 September 1836 by Antônio de Souza Neto, which
resulted in the proclamation the next day of the Riograndense Republic. The
historical site is recalled by a monument and several ruined buildings.
Candiota was named for Greek immigrants coming from Candia (Hania, Crete).
