Review:
Brasilia is the third largest city in Brazil and is also the country's federal capital. It is situated among the Brazilian highlands in the central western part of the country. Brasilia covers an area of 2,240.164 square miles (5,802 square km) and has an estimated population of 3 million, with more than 4.2 million in the surrounding metropolitan area.
This city was founded in 1960, so is a relatively recent addition to the Brazilian landscape, but has grown at an exponential rate. All of Brazil's main governmental buildings are housed in Brasilia, along with over 120 international embassies.
