Espondida

Espondida is the federal capital of Barrea and seat of government of the Federal District. The city is located at the top of the Barrean highlands in the country's Central-West region. It was founded by President Sérgio Ramos de Souza on June 21, 1977, to serve as the new national capital. The city is estimated to be Barrea's third-most populous, with the highest GDP per capita among other major Latin Eurisian cities.

Espondida was a planned city developed by Lúcio Estrada, Otávio Hirschl and Dani Ferrazo in 1973 in a scheme to move the capital from Rio de Oculto to a more central location. The landscape architect was Roberto Júle Marquinhos. The city's design divides it into numbered blocks as well as sectors for specified activities, such as the Hotel Sector, the Banking Sector, and the Embassy Sector.
