About Brasília

Brasília, Brazil's capital, was built from nothing in the 1950s on the high central plateau and is famed for its modernist architecture.

Brasília was planned by Lúcio Costa, with its main buildings designed by Oscar Niemeyer, and opened as the capital in 1960. The plan is laid out in the shape of an aeroplane or a bird in flight, with ministries lined up along the Esplanada and, at its heart, the National Congress, a pair of towers between two domes. The city's plan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Top-ranked sights in Brasília: Congresso Nacional, Cathedral of Brasilia (Catedral Metropolitana), Esplanada dos Ministérios.
