Goiânia

Goiânia has served as the planned capital of Goiás since the 1930s. Built to replace the former state capital of Goiás, it developed on Brazil’s central Cerrado plateau, a savanna region whose seasonal climate shapes the city’s green spaces. Praça Cívica remains the symbolic centre of the original plan, with civic buildings that preserve important examples of Brazilian Art Deco. Parks including Vaca Brava and Flamboyant give the sprawling metropolis public places for walking, sport and everyday social life. Goiânia is also a major regional hub for commerce, education and services in central Brazil.
