Brasilia Metropolitan Cathedral




For me the most beautifull building in Brasília, it was designed by Oscar Niemeyer. It´s construction started in 1958, the main structure was ready in 1960, and was inaugurated in 1970.
 It has been forgotten by the government for quite some time, but now it is getting a much deserved refurbishment, getting ready for the city´s 50th anniversary in 2010.

  2. Definitely 60s architecture, but looks much, much better than many I've seen from the era.

    Welcome to the CDP community! The portal's kind of bonkers right now, but I hope you enjoy yourself when it's fixed up. Happy photoblogging!
