The Palácio da Alvorada, the official residence of the president, was designed by Oscar Niemeyer and the first building to be inaugurated in Brasília, in 1958 (two years before the official inauguration of the city).
The name means “Palace of the Dawn”, and was given by Juscelino Kubitscheck himself, who used to say that “Brasília is a new dawn in the History of Brazil”.
