The 35-year-old has now been afforded a surprise return to the Premier League having played for Arsenal between 1999 and 2001, and will compete with Wayne Bridge for a place in Hughes' new-look City side.
"Sylvinho has a wealth of experience at the very top level, having represented Brazil and played for some of the very top clubs in Europe," Hughes told the club's official website.
Sylvinho joined Arsenal for a fee in the region of £4 million when signing from Corinthians in 1999 but the emergence of Ashley Cole saw him join Celta Vigo two years later.
After joining Barcelona in 2004, he won three La Liga titles and two European Cups at Camp Nou and could now make his City debut in the Carling Cup tie against Crystal Palace on Thursday.
