'''Rio de Janeiro''' is a major port city and former capital of [[Brazil]]. Its full name is ''Cidade de Sao Sebastiao do Rio de Janeiro'', 'City of Saint Sebastian of the River of January': the bay on which Rio stands was mistaken for a river estuary by the Portugese sailors who entered it on 1 January 1502. It became the Portugese colonial capital in 1763 and remained Brazilian capital until 1960, when [[Brasilia]] became the capital.
