;The Parque da Cidade
Located in Brasília, the "Parque da Cidade" ("City Park"), officially the "Parque da Cidade Sarah Kubitschek", is named after the wife of Brazilian president [[Juscelino Kubitschek]], extends over four million square meters. It includes landscape works of [[Burle Marx]], and wall tiles that decorate restrooms in the park designed by [[Athos Bulcão]]. Equipped with sports courts, a horse track, a racing kart track, skate tracks, playgrounds for children, bicycle tracks and trails for walks and jogging, the City Park attracts thousands of people everyday, specially on weekends. The park's main entrance is located in the [[Monumental Axis]] South, but there are secondary exits that lead to other areas in the city's south wing.

;[[Cathedral of Brasília|The Metropolitan Cathedral of Brasília]]
Designed by [[Oscar Niemeyer]], it was inaugurated in 1970. Its shape is circular horizontally and structured around 16 curved pillars, forming a crown filled with futuristic and/or spatial stained-glass works in a triangular shape. The pillars evoke reversed praying hands that deconstruct the gothic traditional church window pattern, but conserves the triangular vaginal shape of the stained-glasses. The curves present in many of Niemeyer's works pay homage to the beautifully built bodies of Brazilian women.

The stained-glasses were designed by [[Marianne Peretti]]. Their disposition ensures natural lighting into the aisle, which was built below street level. Around the church, in the outside area, visitors can see Alfredo Ceschiatti's sculptures — the [[four evangelists]] — and inside, suspended angels. There are also paintings by [[Emiliano Di Cavalcanti]], representing the stages of the [[Passion (Christianity)|Passion of Christ]], and paintings by Athos Bulcão. The cathedral is located in the Eixo Monumental mall, at the entry to the Esplanada dos Ministérios, or Ministries Sector.

;The "[[Praça dos Três Poderes|Three Powers Square]]"
''Praça dos Três Poderes'' concentrates some of the most important and significant buildings in the work and career of [[Oscar Niemeyer]] — the Planalto Palace, headquarters of Brazilian Presidency; the National Congress, hosting the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate; and the Higher Courts of Justice. The Square also hosts: the ''[[Pantheon of Fatherland and Freedom, Tancredo Neves|Panteão da Pátria]]'' (Pantheon of the Fatherland), the Lúcio Costa Space and three important sculptures — "Pombal", by Niemeyer; "Justice", by Alfredo Ceschiatti; and "Os Candangos", by [[Bruno Giorgi]]. In the central plaza, a giant [[Flag of Brazil|Brazilian national flag]] {{convert|286|m2|sqft|sp=us }} is supported by a triangular black {{convert|100|m|ft|adj=on|sp=us}} and high pole. It is located at the end of the Esplanada dos Ministérios.
