Answer

The capital of Brazil is Brasília. Brasília was officially inaugurated as the capital on April 21, 1960, and it was designed by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and the urban planner Lúcio Costa. Prior to the establishment of Brasília, Rio de Janeiro served as the capital of Brazil. The move to Brasília was part of an effort to promote development in the interior of the country and to create a more centralized location for the capital.
