Brasílian nähtävyydet

Landmarks and Viewpoints

Brasília is defined by its modernist architecture and expansive landscapes. This collection includes Oscar Niemeyer’s iconic hyperboloid Cathedral and the asymmetrical steel arches of the Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge. Beyond the urban core, the list highlights the capital's highest point at Pico do Roncador and historical monuments like the Pedra Fundamental, which marks the city's 1922 origin. These sites offer a mix of mid-century design and panoramic views over Lake Paranoá and the Federal District.
