Glória, Administrative district in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The Glória district extends between Centro and Flamengo neighborhoods, featuring the Nossa Senhora da Glória do Outeiro church on its hilltop position.
During the 16th century, the area at the base of Glória Hill contained a Tupí indigenous settlement named Karioca, which later influenced Rio's residents' name.
The Marina da Glória serves as a central point for nautical activities and social gatherings, reflecting the maritime traditions of Rio de Janeiro's population.
A funicular railway system, installed in 1945, provides transportation to the summit of Glória Hill for residents and visitors throughout the day.
The district maintains 33 administrative units that coordinate public services and infrastructure development across different sections of the neighborhood.
