Praça dos Três Poderes
Praca dos Tres Poderes (; literally Three Powers Plaza) is a plaza in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. The name comes from the fact that the buildings having the Executive, represented by the Palacio do Planalto (presidential office); the Legislative represented by the Congresso Nacional (National Congress); and the Judiciary, represented by the Supremo Tribunal Federal (Supreme Federal Court) are in this plaza.
The plaza was designed by Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer.
On 8 January 2023, the plaza was invaded by supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro.
