According to the Embassy of Hungary to Brazil, there are between 80,000 and 100,000 Brazilians of [[Hungarians|Hungarian descent]], most of them living in [[São Paulo]] and 8-10% living in [[Rio de Janeiro]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-11-12|title=Outros|url=http://www.mfa.gov.hu/kulkepviselet/BR/pt/br_bilateralis/br_egyeb.htm|access-date=2020-11-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161112124520/http://www.mfa.gov.hu/kulkepviselet/BR/pt/br_bilateralis/br_egyeb.htm|archive-date=2016-11-12}}</ref>
== History ==
The Hungarian brothers João Carlos and Francisco Hofbauer (Portuguese written) came to Brazil from the city of [[Győr]] in 1826, escaping from political persecution. By the time they arrived in Brazil, they changed their surnames from Hofbauer to Hungria (Hungary, in Portuguese), founding the Hungria family in Brazil.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://familia.hungria.eng.br/|title=Família Hungria}}</ref>
There is also the former Hungarian Baptist Church, that recently changed its name to Igreja Batista Metropolitana, in the Lapa neighborhood of São Paulo, on Pio XI street. A large Hungarian community erected this church in the mid 20th century, and held services in Hungarian until 1998. Today all services are in Portuguese, but a few descendants of the Hungarian community still can be seen in this church.
