São Paulo Overview
São Paulo, Brazil’s vibrant financial center, is among the world's
most populous cities, with numerous cultural institutions and a rich
architectural tradition. Its iconic buildings range from its neo-Gothic
cathedral and the 1929 Martinelli skyscraper to modernist architect
Oscar Niemeyer’s curvy Edifício Copan. The colonial-style Pátio do
Colégio church marks where Jesuit priests founded the city in 1554.
