São Paulo - City Landmarks
Here we can see two of São Paulo's most important landmarks: (1) Right side: Páteo do Collégio (School Yard) Building, a replica (1953) of the old Jesuit School erected on the place where São Paulo was founded, in 1554. (2) Background: Altino Arantes Building (also known as BANESPA Tower), inaugurated in 1947. Tallest buiding in town until 1967, from its 161 meters high observatory it's possible to experience a 360 degrees view of up to 40 km of the impressive urban scenary of the city.
