another 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 - homelessness increased and safety declined significantly, thus, we urge caution when visiting catete, and visitors should avoid walking randomly in this area, especially at night.

Presented by the Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro, the study Área de proteção do ambiente cultural: Catete (Protection of a cultural area: Catete), analyzes how the neighborhoods of Catete, glória and flamengo are urban areas of fundamental interest for the study of the cultural heritage of the city of Rio de Janeiro and of Brazil.
