Description
Distrito Federal is a federal territory in Brazil that contains the capital city, Brasília.

The area of Distrito Federal encompasses approximately 5,802 square kilometers and is home to a diverse population of around 3 million people. Brasília is known for its modernist architecture and urban planning, having been designed by the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer and urban planner Lúcio Costa.

In addition to being the political center of Brazil, Distrito Federal is known for its parks and recreational areas, which offer residents and visitors opportunities for outdoor activities.
