Brasília Essentials

Brasília is a UNESCO World Heritage site defined by the modernist architecture of Oscar Niemeyer and the urban planning of Lúcio Costa. This collection spans from the hyper-paraboloid Cathedral of Brasília and the asymmetrical arches of the Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge to Catetinho, the city’s first presidential residence. It features landscape architecture by Roberto Burle Marx at Praça dos Cristais, the triangular Temple of Good Will, and the natural pools of Brasília National Park, showcasing the capital’s blend of monumental design and structured green spaces.
