ブラジル南東部、リオ・デ・ジャネイロ州の都市。グアナバラ湾の湾口にリオ・デ・ジャネイロ市と相対し、同市の住宅衛星都市の役割も果たしている。人口45万9451(2000)。リオ市との間に渡し船が頻繁に通っているが、1974年にグアナバラ湾を横断する全長14キロメートルのニテロイ橋が完成し、両市の一体化が進んでいる。造船、金属、食品加工などの工業が立地する。優れた海水浴場をもつ海浜保養地として知られ、ボア・ビアージェン教会などの名所・旧跡も少なくない。郊外にはオレンジの大産地がある。 [山本正三] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
