Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro State, Southeast Region, Brazil


🇧🇷 Volta Redonda is the name of a municipality in the Rio de Janeiro state of Brazil. Its name is due to the round shape of a curve in the Paraíba do Sul river around which the city was built.

Situated in Volta Redonda is Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN), Brazil's second largest steel producer. Today its economy, despite still being based on industry, is quite diverse, and largely focused on the areas of services and trade.
