BRASILIA

We spent 3 days in Brasilia, the capital of Brasil since 1960. It was built in only 4 years strongly wanted from the president Juscelino Kubitschek. Oscar Niemeyer designed most of the public buildings , Lucio Costa designed the city itself and Burle Marx had been in charge for the landscape design.

Quiet a weird city Brasilia, with huge spaces and nothing in between, a cathedral in the desert, but fascinating!
