Supremo Tribunal Federal, Brasilia

The Supremo Tribunal Federal (Supreme Court) is one of the powers that flank the Praça dos Três Poderes (Square of Three Powers) in Brasilia.

Designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1958 is it one of the fabulous Modernist buildings that make Brasilia such an interesting city.

The statue, a Justiça (Justice), in front of the court dates from 1961 and was sculpted by Alfredo Ceschiatti.
