Cruzeiro (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɾuˈzei.ɾu]) is an administrative region in the Federal District in Brazil. It is bordered by SIA and Brasília to the north, and Sudoeste/Octogonal to the southeast. Created in 1959, Cruzeiro is divided into two broad sections: the original town, Cruzeiro Velho, made up mostly of one- and two-story houses, and Cruzeiro Novo, made up of several similar four-story buildings since 1970. Cruzeiro has a total area of 319,3 hectares.
