Three Powers Plaza, Brasília, State of Goiás, Brazil
The Square of the Three Powers (Praça dos Três Poderes) is the political power base of the country.
The spacious square is home to buildings representing the three branches of government, each one a fascinating example of modern Brazilian architecture designed by Oscar Niemeyer.
The plaza also has the world’s largest flag to be continuously flown. Enjoy a stroll round the square and tour its landmark structures.
See the Palácio do Planalto, which represents the executive branch of government. Marvel at the building’s futuristic design with its white curved columns and large ramp leading to the entrance.
The palácio is open to the public on Sundays only. Take the opportunity to tour the palace’s four floors to see temporary art installations, majestic halls and the president’s office.
