Brasília and Macao, both recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, exemplify the allure of cultural heritage cities, each marked by distinctive history and architecture.
The Cathedral of Brasília /IC
Celebrated for its urban planning and modernist architecture, Brasília was born as a planned capital in the Brazilian highlands under the vision of then-President Juscelino Kubitschek. In 1956, Kubitschek commissioned architect Oscar Niemeyer to be the city's chief designer. In just four years, Niemeyer's vision transformed Brasília into a city of clean lines and sweeping structures. Brasília was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
