Many of the notable public buildings, for which Brasilia is famed, line (or are close to) the Esplanada dos Ministerios. These include the bizarre yet beautiful Metropolitan Cathedral, the pyramid-inspired National Theatre and the Palacio Itamaraty reflected so perfectly in still waters of its pool. Other interesting architectural feats include the stark and minimalist National Congress and the slightly brutal Palacio do Justicia, noteworthy though for the waterfalls which descend its exterior.
