The Monumental Axis is the central avenue in Brasilia where the most important government buildings, monuments and memorials are located.
The avenue begins on the National Congress building, and its first section is known as "Ministries Esplanade" ("Esplanada dos Ministérios"), as it is surrounded by ministries buildings.
