National Cathedral

Oscar Niemeyer’s National Cathedral in Brasília, the capital city of Brazil, is an iconic example of modernist architecture that unites innovation and spirituality. Completed in 1970, its sixteen soaring curved concrete columns resemble praying hands stretching skyward. The expansive glass roof floods the interior with natural light, creating a radiant and uplifting atmosphere. Niemeyer’s design highlights the harmony between form and faith, blending structural daring with elegance. The cathedral endures as a powerful landmark of Brazil’s capital and architectural vision.
