Mooca District, Industrial district in southeast São Paulo, Brazil.

Mooca spans 7.7 square kilometers with a population of 75,000 residents, featuring a combination of residential buildings, commercial establishments, and remaining industrial structures.

The district evolved from Native American settlements to an agricultural area, later transforming into an industrial center with the arrival of Italian immigrants in the early 1900s.

The Museum of Immigration, located within Mooca, preserves the stories and artifacts of numerous immigrant groups who shaped São Paulo's development through the centuries.

Four subway stations, multiple bus lines, and suburban train connections provide transportation access throughout the district and to neighboring areas of São Paulo.

The district maintains its industrial heritage through preserved factory buildings while new residential developments transform former manufacturing spaces into modern living areas.
