Praça da Bandeira, Administrative neighborhood in Grande Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The neighborhood connects the northern, southern, and central zones of Rio de Janeiro at a junction of major transportation routes.
The area began its development in 1920 with residential houses, followed by apartment buildings in 1933 after the creation of Avenida Presidente Vargas.
The neighborhood received its name from the plaza where the Brazilian flag was first raised on November 19, 1889.
Residents benefit from three metro stations, a train station, and numerous bus stops that provide connections to all regions of Rio de Janeiro.
The municipality implemented five large water reservoirs to address the frequent flooding issues that affected the neighborhood throughout its history.
