The idea of building a new capital of Brazil in the central part of the country appeared a long time ago. The implementation of the plan was accomplished only when Kubicek Juscelino became president. Due to the new location of the capital, called "Brazilia", vast and sparsely populated areas of the highlands of the country were involved in social and economic renewal. Construction began in 1957 and already in 1960 the "city of hope" that grew up in the middle of the desert was officially opened.
The most progressive, modern technologies and methods of architecture were used in the construction of Brasilia. With the advent of the new main metropolis, the overpopulated old capital of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, has unloaded. The country's largest city is located on a plateau, whose height above sea level is more than one thousand meters.
The capital of Brazil is a metropolis designed in the form of an airplane or a bird. Located in the center
an area with administrative buildings, the wings are made up of residential areas, and on the nose is the Three Powers Square. Next to it, the architects placedThe residence of the head of state, the National Assembly, the Congress and the Palace of the Supreme Court. Not far from the square, you can see a majestic elevation in the form of a pyramidal cathedral.
The capital of Brazil has one interesting architectural feature - the layout of highways, each of which has four lanes, road junctions and multi-storey driveways are designed so that they do not have a single intersection. There are two independent streams along the main road, one of which is used by cars and the other by pedestrians. Residential areas amaze with unusual silence and especially clean air. In these places, the capital of Brazil does not contain car traffic in principle.
The city was built at the source of four rivers - Corumba, Tocantina, Parana and San Francisco. The capital of Brazil is surrounded by an artificially created lake, its waters prevent hot air from entering the metropolis. Despite the fact that the sea is located far from the city, this does not deter tourists.
The capital of Brazil is the cultural center of the state. The sights of the metropolis are: the National Theater, which has several stages, the Museum of Brazil,
Botanical Garden, Institute of History. In the city park there are pools, the water in which is not ordinary, but mineral. The unique hanging gardens of the Arched Palace are also striking in their beauty. The capital of Brazil has a zoo where you can see rare exotic animals from the Amazon tropics.
Main city of the countrythe most striking thing is that in its short existence it contains so many parks and green areas that it is impossible to count them. This makes it different from all other world cities.

The main attraction of Rio is the snow-white statue of Christ the Redeemer, 38 meters high, located on Mount Corcovado.
