5 Fascinating Facts About World Capitals

1. The Newest Capital City: In 2024, Indonesia officially began the transition of its capital from Jakarta to Nusantara, a purpose-built city on the island of Borneo. Jakarta was sinking and becoming overcrowded, making this one of the most ambitious urban relocation projects in history.
2. The Capital Built in the Desert: Brasília, the capital of Brazil, was built in just 41 months (1956–1960). It was designed from scratch to be shaped like an airplane when viewed from above, representing Brazil’s desire to modernize and move its center of power inland.
3. High-Altitude Power: La Paz, the administrative capital of Bolivia, is the highest capital city in the world, sitting at an elevation of about 3,640 meters (11,942 feet) above sea level. The air is so thin that visiting athletes often struggle to breathe!
4. Capital of Two Countries: Historically, this is rare, but during the Roman Empire, both Rome and Constantinople functioned as dual capitals. In modern times, South Africa is the only country with three official capitals: Pretoria (executive), Bloemfontein (judicial), and Cape Town (legislative).
5. A City That Moved Across the Sea: Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, is not just a cold outpost—it’s a rapidly growing modern center. Despite being a capital, it has a population of less than 20,000 people, making it one of the smallest and most isolated national capitals on Earth.
