Santa Luzia
Estância was a district of Vila de Santa Luzia do Real, now known as Santa Luzia do Itanhy. Santa Luzia fell into decay by the mid-18th century and the King of Portugal granted Estância independent legal status, and the city seat of Santa Luzia was transferred to Estância on October 25, 1831. It was elevated to city status on May 4, 1848. The Emperor Dom Pedro II visited Estância and called it "the garden of Sergipe" for its landscape and numerous tiled houses.
