Catetinho
The Catetinho was the first official workplace of the President of Brazil Juscelino Kubitschek.History
The name Catetinho comes from the then official residence of the president, the Catete Palace. Oscar Niemeyer's project, was built in just 10 days, in November 1956. It is a simple building, made of wood, and known as "Palácio de Tábuas" ''.
It was planned without comfort or official honours, so that the President didn't distance himself from the workers, who lived in shacks and tents.
