Brasilia is the federal capital of Brazil and the seat of government. If you are interested in all things cultural, it is better you know that Brasilia was built out of rubble in recent times (1960) and that it is ultra modern in its buildings and state of the art equipment. The city is an example of masterfully crafted contemporary buildings that boast of some of the biggest names in architecture, sculpture, murals and ceramics. Like any other major capital city of the world, it is bursting at the seams with an unpredictable growth in population.
