Madureira, Administrative division in North Zone, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Madureira functions as one of the 33 administrative regions within Rio de Janeiro municipality, overseeing local governance and urban development initiatives.

The area transformed from agricultural lands to an urban settlement before receiving official recognition as a neighborhood in 1892.

Two major samba schools, Portela and Imperio Serrano, establish Madureira as a center for traditional Brazilian music and carnival celebrations.

Multiple bus lines and a train station connect Madureira to different parts of Rio de Janeiro, making it a transportation hub for the region.

The Parque Natural Municipal de Madureira provides recreational spaces and green areas for the neighborhood's 50,000 inhabitants.
