Largo São Francisco

In broad settled in the 1640s the San Francisco Convent, giving rise to one of the most expressive and old sets of the religious city of São Paulo architecture. The three buildings that make up the whole - the Faculty of Law, the Church of St. Francis and the Third Order of the Church of Penance - were part of a small farm, whose demarcation must have been established in 1642.

By 1800, the land in front of the convent was called by Paulist’s from Largo do Capim, due to the large amount of this herb on site. From 1828, the convent premises were occupied by the Faculty of Law of São Paulo. The land in front of the college came to be called Largo Legal Course.

From the mid-nineteenth century, the square became known by its current name: Largo de São Francisco.

Martinelli Building

Martinelli Building was the first high building built in São Paulo. It has 24 floors. Giuseppe Martinelli came to Brazil from Italy. Befiore that, he lived in Rio de Janeiro. He decided to build the tallest building in Latin America. He wanted the largest building, He couldn't stop building more floors. When they got to 24 floors the government stopped him building more floors because he didn´t respect the laws. But he managed to convice that it was safe and built one more floor. His objective was to build 30 floors.

In 1934 the building had trouble with money and he needeed to sell it. In 1975 Olavo (president at the time) bought the building and reformed it with modern programs.

When we were on the top we could see all of the town. It was cool and a little scary.
