The JK Memorial is a Brazilian mausoleum and cultural center dedicated to Juscelino Kubitschek, the 21st President of Brazil and founder of Brasília, designed by Oscar Niemeyer and located on the Monumental Axis. Built at the request of Kubitschek's widow, Sarah, the memorial serves as both the final resting place of the president (1902–1976) and a space for cultural programs, reflecting Niemeyer's architectural vision that shaped Brasília since its establishment as the nation's capital in 1960. The structure is recognized as a heritage asset by IPHAN, Brazil's national heritage institute.
