another main point of interest in catete is the centro nacional de folclore e cultura popular (museu de folclore edison carneiro). 

while this district held a particular importance while rio de janeiro was capital of brazil, it entered a state of decline when the capital was transferred to brasilia, causing the homeless population increase and the safety of the neighborhood to suffer - thus, we urge caution when visiting catete, and visitors should avoid walking randomly in this area, especially at night.

on this page we listed all neighborhoods in rio, including unofficial neighborhoods, divided by city zone.
