Catedral da Sé is a Roman Catholic cathedral built in Neo-Gothic style. As it is the case with many churches and cathedrals, this one too is built on the site of previous churches. Since the arrival of the colonizers, on this site were constructed two churches which were both demolished. The first one was built in the early 17th century while the other, in Baroques style was built after the destruction of the first one in the second hald of the 18th century. The later one was demolished two years before the beginning of the construction of the current cathedral in 1913. It took 4 decades to open this new cathedral even though towers weren´t finished at the time of inauguration in 1954.

This beautiful cathedral is considered to be one of the largest roman catholic churches in the world built in this architectural style while it is most certainly the largest church in Sao Paulo.

Its interior in beautifully decorated not only with marble stone, but also with sculpted descriptions of Brazilian products such as coffee, pineapples…

The Cathedra is also proud of a large crypt where one can see the  description of the history of Job and St Jerome. These sculptures in marble stone are a work of art by Francisco Leopoldo e Silva. Of course, there are several tombs inside pertaining to bishops and archbishops as well of Diogo Feijó and Tibirica, a regent and a chieftain respectively who were two important figures in Brazilian history.

Also, if in Cathedral it would be a great mistake not to see the Organ that is one of the largest in South America and is decorated with reliefs in Gothic style.

The current monastery building was designed by D Adelbert Gresnicht and built in the first half of the 20th century. The building has some features which pertain to German style of construction. The interior is beautifully decorated too. Today, 40 monks live inside the monastery and they mostly produce their own food.

This monastery dedicated to Sao Bento or in English San Benedict is one of the most visited monuments of this type in this enormous city.

Vitor Brecheret built this beautiful granite monument. Its dimensions are alse admirable; 50 m long and 16 high. The monument was inaugurated at the opening of Ibirapuera Park in 1953. This monument is a city landmark and it shows the diversity of Brazilian people. It describes Portuguese settlers with black and native people and they all work in order to pull a canoe.
