Brasília TV Tower

Taking advantage of its privileged location for observation, in the center of the capital, a belvedere was built at 75 meters high with capacity for 150 people. The attraction is open Tuesdays through Sundays, from 9am to 7pm. The belvedere was inaugurated in 1965, two years before the inauguration of the tower. It is accessible by an elevator, and also has a stairway for service and emergencies.

From there, it is possible to see much of the Plano Piloto, including the Esplanade of the Ministries, the Northern and Southern Hotel Sectors, the National Stadium of Brasília Mané Garrincha and the Nelson Piquet International Autodrome, as well as Lake Paranoá and other administrative regions.[1]

One of the biggest symbols of the capital, the Feira da Torre began during the 1970s, when the first stalls began to be placed under the tower. In 2010 construction began on a fixed structure for the tower in an area further down the tower, which would be ready for Brasilia's 50th anniversary,[2] but the work was only completed the following year. In 2014, the complex underwent a new construction work, this time there was the construction of accessibility works, such as elevators, stairs and escalators between the fair and the tower.[3]

The Gem Museum is a permanent exhibition of gemstones. It is located on the second floor of the tower, in the triangular volume above the pillars.[4]

In front of it is the "Space Age" (original name "Force noire ou l'odyssée des espasmes" - Black Force or The Odyssey of Spasms), a 15-meter high bronze sculpture by artist Alexandre Wakhevitch, also popularly known as Berimbau.

It was delivered in 2010 as a way to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the city of Brasília, with an estimated budget of nine million reais.[5] It is 80 meters in diameter and has two thousand water nozzles, reaching up to 50 meters high with its main jet. During the weekend, forty-minute shows are held, where the waters become colorful and the movement follows the rhythm of music.
