Itaquera District, Administrative district in Eastern São Paulo, Brazil
The district extends across 14.60 square kilometers and contains residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, parks, and several transportation hubs connecting to central São Paulo.
The region transformed from rural farmland called Roça Itaquera in 1620 into an autonomous municipal district by 1920, marking its administrative independence.
Local markets, street vendors, and neighborhood festivals throughout the district display Brazilian traditions through regional foods, music, and community gatherings.
The Corinthians-Itaquera Station serves as a major transit point, connecting metro lines 3-Red and 11-Coral with bus routes across São Paulo.
The district name originates from Tupi language words meaning hard stone, reflecting the geological characteristics of the original settlement area.
