Rua do Catete, Heritage street in Catete, Brazil.
The Rua do Catete stretches through two sections, connecting Largo da Gloria to Pedro Americo Street with traffic flowing toward Centro-Zona Sul.
The street originated from an indigenous path that existed before Portuguese and French settlers arrived in Rio de Janeiro during the 16th century.
The name Catete derives from Tupi language, combining ka'a, ete, and ty, translating to water from true forest in Portuguese.
Two metro stations, Catete and Largo do Machado, provide direct access to this street, which contains numerous banks and retail establishments.
The street housed the federal government at Catete Palace until 1960, when the capital moved to Brasilia.
