Nestled among the striking buildings of the Esplanada dos Ministérios in Brasilia, Itamaraty Palace, also known as the ‘Palace of the Arches,’ commands attention with its dramatic series of concrete arches. These towering structures rise over a serene reflecting pool, which is adorned with floating gardens. As the home of Brazil’s Foreign Ministry, the palace is an integral part of Brasilia’s Federal District. Today, visitors can admire the architectural marvel and its tranquil surroundings, offering a unique blend of modern design and natural beauty.
