Limete, Administrative commune in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The area spans between the Funa and Ndjili rivers, containing residential quarters, industrial zones, and commercial establishments along Boulevard Lumumba.

Following Congo's independence in 1965, the district underwent significant changes under Mobutu's leadership, including the construction of the 210-meter Limete Tower in 1971.

The fourteen quarters of Limete reflect the diversity of Kinshasa through local markets, community gatherings, and traditional celebrations representing multiple ethnic groups.

Transportation connectivity exists through Boulevard Lumumba, serving as a primary artery that links Limete's industrial and residential areas to central Kinshasa.

The unfinished Limete Tower stands as a notable landmark, featuring four support columns and multiple floors designated for medical facilities, legal offices, and educational spaces.
