São Paulo - The Indian and the City

Pery, an Indian who is one of the central personages of the opera "Il Guarany", by Carlos Gomes, seems to leave its native forest astonished with Anhangabaú Valley urban forest, in Downtown São Paulo. The statue is part of the "Monument to Carlos Gomes", by Luigi Brizzolara, gift of the Italian community to the city by the time of Brazil Independence Centennial (1922). It’s installed in the staircases of Ramos de Azevedo Square, close to the Municipal Theater.

São Paulo - Paulista in Sepia

This is Paulista Avenue, the main financial and cultural center of São Paulo. It's hard to imagine today that just a century ago the skyscraper-lined "Avenida" was the suburb where coffee barons lived in rich mansions.

São Paulo - Estação da Luz I

Important landmark of São Paulo's wealth in the beginning of the XX Century , the "Estação da Luz" (Light's Railway Station), in Downtown São Paulo, was built between 1895 and 1901, in Victorian style and with imported material from England, by James Ford, a British engineer, substituting an older building, constructed in 1867. The current station, recently restored, keeps some differences in relation to the original project, in reason of a fire occurred in 1946. In its interior, beyond the railway station properly said, there is the excellent Museum of the Portuguese Language, a very modern and innovative cultural center.
