What are the different cities that served as the capital of Brazil?

Efficient

Brazil has had three official capital cities throughout its history:

  1. Salvador (1549–1763): Established as the first capital of colonial Brazil by the Portuguese Empire.
  2. Rio de Janeiro (1763–1960): The capital was moved here to better support the economic activities in the mining regions and to maintain closer control over the coast. It served as the capital through the colonial period, the Empire, and the early Republic.
  3. Brasília (1960–present): Built specifically to serve as the capital, Brasília was inaugurated by President Juscelino Kubitschek to encourage the development of the country's interior and move the center of government away from the coast.

In addition to these, there is a historical note regarding Rio de Janeiro: it served as the capital of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves between 1808 and 1821, when the Portuguese royal court fled to Brazil during the Napoleonic Wars.
