　　The 16 curved ribs rising to the crown of the iconic exterior coupled with the light-filled circular interior, which sits under a dome of wavy stained-glass, make this cathedral a heavenly sight. At the entrance are Ceschiatti's haunting Four Disciples statues; he also created the aluminum angels hanging inside. Wearing shorts and visiting during Mass are not encouraged.

Praça dos Trés Poderes
Brasília
　　This square is a focal point of the city design, a synthesis of the ideas of architects Niemeyer and Costa, combining various monuments, museums and federal buildings.
