The Distrito Capital is the capital district of Venezuela . It has an area of ​​433 km² and consists only of the Municipio Libertador . This includes about a fifth of the area or a third of the inhabitants of the capital Caracas . As a federal immediate area , it is the seat of the National Assembly and other federal authorities. It borders the states of Vargas and Miranda .

With the Bolivarian Constitution of 1999, the Distrito Capital lost its own parliament and its governor. For this purpose, the urban area of ​​Caracas' ( Distrito Metropolitano de Caracas ) was restructured. The city took over government power over the capital district and four neighboring municipalities of the state of Miranda. On April 13, 2009, the National Assembly passed a law establishing a new district government. The governor of Distrito Capital has since been appointed by the president. Jacqueline Faria Pineda has held this position since April 14, 2009 .
