About Pôr do Sol
What are the main landmarks in Pôr do Sol?
Pôr do Sol has no landmarks of its own on record. The monuments of the capital stand in central Brasília, out along its monumental axis, a drive across the Federal District from here. For sights, visitors look to Brasília rather than to the district itself.
The Brazilian Highlands stretch flat around it. Open ground defines the edge.
What is the history of Pôr do Sol?
Pôr do Sol belongs to Brasília, the capital of Brazil that rose on the Brazilian Highlands in 1960. As the capital filled its plan, districts spread beyond the monumental core into the surrounding Federal District. Pôr do Sol is one of them.
Its own record is brief, tied to the growth of the young capital rather than to any older town. The highland was open ground before the city came.
Where is Pôr do Sol?
