From the storied Maracana for soccer to Carioca Arena 1 for basketball, here's a look at where the Rio Games will be played.

BARRA DA TIJUCA ZONE
Olympic Golf Course
Constructed on reclaimed land adjacent to Lagoa de Marapendi, this open course has facilities for 15,000 spectators and was designed by American Gil Hanse — the man behind the Blue Monster course at Trump National Doral in Florida.
Carioca Arena
The Carioca Arena is split into three separate buildings — surrounded by one continuous facade — and includes the largest venue located in Barra Olympic Park. Arena 1 will welcome the likes of NBA stars Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony when it hosts the basketball competition, Arena 2 hosts judo and wrestling and Arena 3 will provide a stage for fencing and taekwondo. The latter will become a specialist sports school after the Games.
Future Arena
One of the first venues in the Barra Olympic Park to be completed, the aptly named stadium will play one of the most important roles in the social legacy of the Games. Following criticism of custom-built stadiums for soccer's 2014 World Cup being left idle, the 12,000-seat venue will be deconstructed after it has hosted handball and Paralympic goalball and its parts will be used to build four public schools.
Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre
Named after the first Brazilian woman to compete in an Olympic Games at Los Angeles 1932, the stadium was built for the 2007 Pan-American Games. Renovations have been undertaken ahead of hosting the water polo group stages, diving and synchronized swimming.
Olympic Aquatics Stadium
The venue in the heart of the Barra Olympic Park will be one of the most unique, wrapped in drapes showing the work of renowned Rio artist Adriana Varejao, who uses Portuguese tiling to depict water and angels. The stadium has 18,000 temporary seats and will host the swimming events and water polo finals.
Olympic Tennis Centre
The newly constructed complex includes 16 courts, some temporary, but at its heart is the magnificent 10,000-seat Centre Court, named after the most successful player in Brazil's history with seven Grand Slam titles — Maria Esther Bueno.
Rio Olympic Arena
The biggest indoor arena in Rio, the venue is another that was initially built for the 2007 Pan-American Games. Since then, it has hosted various events including NBA games in 2013 and 2014, UFC 190 in 2015, and a number of concerts. All three of the gymnastic disciplines — artistic, rhythmic and trampoline — will take place here.
Olympic Velodrome
Having built the Barra Velodrome for the Pan-Am Games, the decision to demolish it and construct a wholly new venue that met UCI regulations for the Olympics caused controversy. The Olympic Velodrome has a sleeker design and includes 5,000 permanent seats.
Riocentro
The Riocentro exhibition center, located adjacent to the Olympic Village, will host weightlifting, table tennis, badminton — largely thanks to the 40-foot-high ceilings — and boxing, which will take place in an additional purpose-built arena, expanding the complex especially for the Games.

COPACABANA ZONE
Beach Volleyball Arena
Probably the most famous location in Rio, Copabacana beach will provide an iconic setting for the beach volleyball, holding 12,000 spectators. Fans flocked here for the Fan Fest during World Cup 2014, and the party atmosphere will surely return come the Games.
Fort Copacabana
On a headland jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean at the southern end of Copacabana, the fort will provide the start and finish points for the cycling road race. The sheltered waters will be used for marathon swimming, while the area will also act as the center point of the triathlon.
Lagoa Stadium
Situated behind Copacabana and Ipanema beach and overlooked by the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer, the stadium has a phenomenal backdrop. There will be more than just swan-shaped pedalos on the lagoon come the Games, though, with the rowing and canoe sprint events taking place here. A 4,000-seat floating grandstand was scrapped due to budgetary constraints.
Marina de Gloria, Guanabara Bay
Under the gaze of the iconic Sugarloaf and Corcovado mountains, the spectacular venue, to the north of Flamengo Beach and a short walk from the city center, provides a magnificent setting for sailing. However, water pollution levels have dominated talk in the build-up, with images of waste, raw sewage and dead fish putting the spotlight on the Brazilian government's insistence that there is no hazard to health.
Pontal
The road cycling races and race walk will begin at the idyllic beach-side location west of Barra, near to Tim Maia Square — named after the artist behind the song "Do Leme ao Pontal," which immortalized the location.

DEODORO ZONE
Deodoro Aquatics Centre
Located inside the Deodoro Olympic Park in the west of the city, the open-air Aquatics Centre will be used for the swimming section of the modern pentathlon, having undergone a renovation that includes 2,000 temporary seats.
Deodoro Stadium
Capable of holding a crowd of 15,000, the Deodoro Stadium will host the inaugural Olympic rugby sevens competition, as well as the riding and combined shooting and running section of the modern pentathlon.
Olympic Equestrian Centre
Initially built for the 2007 Pan-American Games, the Centre has been renovated for the Olympics when it will hold more than 300 horses in recently expanded stables. The venue, which already includes a veterinary hospital and a laboratory for the Brazilian army, will have hydrotherapy equipment installed ahead of the dressage, eventing and jumping events.
Olympic Shooting Centre
The home of the shooting events required minimal modification, having been used regularly by the military in the local barracks. A temporary stand of 2,000 seats will increase viewing capacity for the final events, while a fence will be raised to minimize the distraction of traffic passing on Avenida Brasil.
Mountain Bike Centre
Located in the X-Park section of the Deodoro Olympic Park, the course includes a nod to the favored style of footwear in Rio, the flip-flop, through the design of some of its jumps, and a one-kilometer ascent up the natural Flag Mountain. Part of the descent consists of a 40-degree slope.
Olympic BMX Centre
Adjustments were made to the dirt track, which has thin layers of asphalt over tight turns, during testing, decreasing the difficulty for riders and increasing safety. Men will race over 400 meters, while the women's course is set at 372 meters.
Whitewater Stadium
The canoe slalom course has been designed by the same specialist company behind the one created for London 2012 and will feature more than 900 feet of artificial whitewater rapids. The water will be pumped from a nearby pool that will be opened to the public as part of the recreational park left after the Games.
Olympic Hockey Centre
In homage to the Brazilian flag, the two blue, artificial grass pitches where field hockey events will take place are surrounded by a green border, while white lines and a yellow ball complete the combination of the nation's colors.
Youth Arena
The venue will host group stage matches in the women's basketball competition and the fencing section of the modern pentathlon — all five events of which will be conducted in Deodoro. The arena consists of 2,000 permanent seats but will have a further 3,000 temporary ones added.

MARACANA ZONE
Maracana
One of the most famous stadiums in the world, the Maracana will host the opening and closing ceremonies — which has Fernando Meirelles, director of the film "City of God" among the creative team — and the decisive matches in the men's and women's soccer competitions.
Maracanazinho
The stadium's name translates as the "Little Maracana" due its location in the same complex as the iconic soccer arena. The Maracanazinho is the traditional home of volleyball in Rio. Brazilians are passionate about volleyball, so a great atmosphere can be expected as the women's team looks to defend its gold medal.
Olympic Stadium
The centerpiece of Rio 2016, home of Brazilian football club Botafogo, has seen capacity expanded to fit 60,000 spectators through temporary seats for track and field events. The venue was closed indefinitely in 2013 when repairs to the roof were carried out, but upgrades have been made and athletes will compete on a freshly laid track. Group-stage soccer matches will also take place here.
Sambodromo
Rio is synonymous with samba and Carnaval, but the home of the yearly parade will instead be the center of archery and the start and finish of the marathon for the Games. Soundproof walls have been installed to limit noise interference from local traffic, particularly for the archers.
SOCCER CITY VENUES
Amazonia Arena
Built for the 2014 World Cup, the architecturally stunning Amazonia Arena is located in Manaus, in the northern region of Brazil. The influence of the surrounding Amazon Rainforest can be seen in the stadium's design. It will host six group-stage matches.
Corinthians Arena
Located in Sao Paulo, the home of famous Brazilian club Corinthians will host group and quarterfinal matches in the men's and women's tournaments, as well as a men's semifinal and the women's match for bronze.
Fonte Nova Arena
With a stadium having existed on the site since 1951, the Fonte Nova Arena was rebuilt for the 2014 World Cup and now holds 60,000 people. It is located in Salvador, in the Bahia State of northeastern Brazil.
Mane Garrincha Stadium
Named after the Brazilian soccer legend who won the 1958 and 1962 World Cup with the Selecao, over 72,000 people can pack into this stadium in Brasilia. It will play host to the opening match of the men's tournament.
Mineirao
One of Brazil's most famous stadiums, it is home to one of the country's iconic clubs in the shape of four-time national and two-time continental champions Cruzeiro.
