Catete, Middle-class district in South Zone, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Catete spans 68 hectares with 24,057 residents and contains numerous commercial establishments along its main thoroughfare.

The neighborhood gained prominence in 1897 when Catete Palace became the federal government headquarters until the capital moved to Brasilia in 1960.

The Republic Museum, located in the former presidential palace, exhibits an extensive collection of Brazilian governance artifacts and historical documents.

Two metro stations, Catete and Largo do Machado, connect the district to Rio de Janeiro's public transportation network.

The name Catete derives from indigenous Tupi language, meaning extensive forest, referencing the original landscape before urban development.
