The first is formed by the neighborhoods “Asa Norte” and “Asa Sul”, possessing several parallel tracks that host the “Super Quadras” and residential sectors of trade and services. Perpendicular to it, the “Eixo Monumental”, the great avenue, the body of the plane, so the complex cultural and political environment composed of the Three Powers Square, Esplanade of Ministries, Cathedral, museums and monuments.
