Pedra fundamental de Brasília, Monument at the geographical center of Brasília, Brazil
The granite cornerstone marks the exact location where the construction of Brazil's capital city commenced, established as a symbol of progress and development.
The stone was placed during a ceremony on September 7, 1922, coinciding with the centennial celebration of Brazil's independence from Portugal.
The monument represents Brazil's commitment to relocate its capital from the coast to the interior, reflecting national aspirations for territorial integration.
The site welcomes visitors throughout the year and features explanatory panels detailing the significance of the monument in Portuguese and English.
The stone's coordinates were carefully selected to align with the future city's layout, preceding the actual construction of Brasília by almost four decades.
