The Catedral is on the Central Area of Brasilia and it's a great sightseeing. The interior is very clean and beautiful. Once inside, try saying something to the round wall in very low voice. It is possible to hear from the other side of the wall!
Do not miss this sensational modernist gem. You will be awestruck. This is Niemeyer's genius on full display. P.S. Remember to wear long pants, as shorts are not allowed.
Light is incredible inside! Angels hanging are very beautiful! Pietà very beautiful too. A very different church, not to be missed at all! Just heads-up: At the very entrance of the Cathedral there is a sign asking you not to enter in shorts. Anyway, lotas of people were in shorts and had no problem.

Unusual style (for us medieval Europeans) but airy and light inside - stunning effect. Really glad I saw it (unlike some of the other buildings in Brasilia!). The angels circling above are great.
I love it, it's Beautiful during the night. I really had a great time in Brasilia and the church it's unbelievable!
