Project by Oscar Niemeyer. The tomb of JK (President Juscelino Kubitschek) lies underneath eerily beautiful stained-glass by French artist Marianne Peretti inside the Memorial JK.

More about Brasilia: The Capital City of Brazil created ex nihilo (out of nothing) in the centre of the country in 1956, was a landmark in the history of town planning.
