Brasilia - The National Congress

Filed under: Brazil General - May 16th, 2005

The Congresso Nacional was designed as a government building by Oscar Niemeyer. It currently houses the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. The Congresso Nacional is located at Praca dos Tres Poderes and its beauty is truly spectacular.

The shape of the building looks like an H representing a human being standing up. In the National Congress is where most of the politic decisions involving Brazil’s future happen.
