History
In the 16th century, the base of Glória Hill was the site of a Tupí people village called Karioca. This village gave the name of the modern demonym of the city: carioca.[1]
In the 17th century, the Nossa Senhora da Glória do Outeiro church was built, at the peak of Glória Hill.[2] A narrow gauge funicular[3] railway, first opened in 1945,[4] is employed to take visitors to the top of the hill.
In 1979, the Marina da Glória was inaugurated.[5]
