Famous Landmarks
Cathedral of Brasília
-15.7975°N, 47.8919°W
The Cathedral of Brasília, an Oscar Niemeyer masterpiece inaugurated in 1970, is a hyperboloid structure of 16 curved concrete columns reaching skyward, linked by blue and green stained glass. The underground entrance opens into a light-flooded space where Marianne Peretti's stained glass creates a celestial atmosphere unique in the world.
National Congress
-15.7975°N, 47.8919°W
The National Congress of Brazil, designed by Oscar Niemeyer and inaugurated in 1960, is Brasília's architectural symbol. Its twin 28-storey towers are flanked by two inverted domes — the Chamber of Deputies (concave) and the Senate (convex) — creating an instantly recognizable silhouette on the Esplanada dos Ministérios.
Itamaraty Palace
-15.7975°N, 47.8919°W
The Itamaraty Palace, seat of Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is considered one of Niemeyer's most beautiful buildings. Its elegant concrete arches surround a tropical interior garden with a reflecting pool and sculptures by Bruno Giorgi. The ensemble creates an impression of lightness and diplomatic refinement.
Why gift a star map of Brasília?
Gifting a star map of Brasília means capturing the grandeur of an immense sky above a city born from an architectural dream. Niemeyer's curves are outlined beneath the Cerrado stars, between the reflections of Lake Paranoá and the iconic silhouette of the National Congress. The Southern Cross watches over this bold capital like a celestial beacon. A gift as visionary as the city that invented its own horizon.
The sky of Brasília
At 15.8° south latitude, Brasília offers one of Brazil's vastest and clearest Cerrado skies. Its tropical position allows observation of both southern constellations — Southern Cross, Centaurus, Carina — and some northern ones. The dry climate of the central plateau guarantees many crystal-clear nights, ideal for stargazing.
