Ministries Esplanade Brasilia

These are the government buildings that line the main thoroughfare. The Cathedral, National Museum, Natitonal Library and National Theater are located on the “city” end of these, with the National Congress, Ministry of Justice, Supreme Court and the Praca dos Tres Poderes on the other end. There is a mirroring set of buildings on the opposite side of the boulevard. They do remind one of post war apartment blocks in “East” Berlin. At least they remind this one of those. Better weather though.

The second image below isn’t really part of the Esplanade, down the road from them though, and near the National Congress. This one is a mystery. Should you know what this building is, please comment. Thank you!
