Marechal Hermes, Planned residential district in North Zone, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Marechal Hermes extends across wide avenues with organized residential blocks, featuring public spaces, schools, and a central railway station.

The district was established in 1913 as Brazil's first federal housing project, initiated during President Hermes da Fonseca's administration.

The Armando Gonzaga Theater, designed by architect Affonso Eduardo Reidy, stands as a center for performing arts in the neighborhood.

The railway station connects residents to central Rio de Janeiro through regular train services operating on the Central do Brasil line.

The district houses 165 original residential units from 1914, displaying architectural elements inspired by European working-class neighborhoods.
