Palácio do Buriti, Administrative building in Federal District, Brazil.
Palácio do Buriti is the executive government building in Brazil's capital, designed with clean geometric forms and a functional layout. The structure comprises a main edifice paired with a sixteen-story annex that houses various federal departments.
Architect Nauro Esteves designed the structure, which opened in 1969 as the executive seat of the Federal District government. Its construction marked an important milestone in establishing Brasília as the nation's administrative center.
The palace serves as a working center where Brazil's federal leadership conducts official business and hosts events that shape the nation's governance. Its rooms reflect how the country organizes its executive functions through ceremonial and administrative spaces.
The palace is generally accessible on weekdays during business hours, but visits require advance approval from the Federal District administration. It is important to arrange your visit beforehand and follow any security procedures in place.
A replica of the Capitoline Wolf, a gift from Rome to Brasília, stands in the courtyard and represents the legendary foundation of the ancient city. This sculpture creates an unexpected link between two of the world's most important capitals.
