As Brazil’s capital and the centre of the Federal District, Brasília gives the country’s Central-West region a distinctly national role. President Juscelino Kubitschek founded the city on 21 April 1960, replacing Rio de Janeiro as the capital. Today, it is Brazil’s third-most populous city, with 2.8 million residents, and has the highest GDP per capita among major Latin American cities.
