Brasilia and the West Sights

Palácio da Justiça Review

The front and back facades of Niemeyer's Justice Ministry have waterfalls that cascade between its arched columns. Besides the administrative offices, there's a library with more than 80,000 books, including a rare collection on German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and one of the few complete original sets of Shakespeare's works—a gift from Queen Elizabeth. On the third floor there's a garden by Burle Marx.
