Glória, Rio de Janeiro

Glória is a hillside district between downtown Rio and Flamengo, named for the 17th-century church crowning its hill. Below lies the Marina da Glória, opened in 1979, while the hilltop holds layers of history reaching back to the indigenous village that gave cariocas their name.
