About the Itamaraty Palace
The Itamaraty Palace, also called the Palace of the Arches, houses Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the national capital, Brasília. Along the Ministries Esplanade, it sits east of the National Congress building, close to the Three Powers Plaza. Oscar Niemeyer designed it, and it was inaugurated in 1970. Roberto Burle Marx was the landscape designer, and he made every one of the palace's gardens.
Brazilians often say Itamaraty to refer to that ministry. The name comes from the palace in Rio de Janeiro that housed the ministry before the capital and government moved to Brasília. The first name given to this building was Palácio dos Arcos, named for the arches along its facade, but the traditional name proved stronger and stuck.
President Juscelino Kubitschek laid the cornerstone on September 12, 1960. Technical difficulties with the project's innovations delayed completion until 1970. A spiral interior staircase that seems to defy gravity is among its best-known features. It serves as the setting where the head of state welcomes foreign authorities and fellow heads of state, and its interior holds works by many artists, including Athos Bulcão, Candido Portinari and Tomie Ohtake. Brazil listed it as National Historic Heritage in 2007.
