Catete , pronunciation : [ kaˈtetʃi ], is a district ( Portuguese bairro ) of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil .
The district belongs to the sub-prefecture Zona Sul , the southern part of Rio de Janeiro, and houses, u. a. because of the proximity to the port, many shops and trading companies. The majority of the population belongs to the emerging Brazilian middle class. The district, which is located north of the districts of Flamengo and south of Glória , is known primarily for the Palácio do Catete , pronunciation : [ paˈlasju du kaˈtetʃi ], today's Museum of the Republic ( Museu da República ).
"Catete" is a term in the Tupi language that means "great forest".
Many villas with historically and architecturally significant buildings still date from the colonial era. The gardens of the Palace of Catete are very inviting and offer the people of the area a pleasant place to relax. Many apartments and houses from the colonial era were demolished for new construction.

Palácio do Catete
