This is where I spent 2 years of my lifw studying. I left when I was 12, and on my last day here, I felt like it was the saddest day of my life. I made great friends, and had a awesome time at this school.
It's a pretty small school designed by Oscar Niemeyer. There are 3 buildings: The primary's, the secondary's and the lycée's. There are about 500 students (maximum), and the environement is really nice.
Now I'm pretty glad I left, because I realized that there is much more to see of the world, and when I studied there, I used to say to myself I didn't want anything else than that.

The city's Marco Zero ("zero milestone") is located at Praça da Sé, indicating the directions of the states that share boundaries with São Paulo and from where the distance of any point in the state starts being counted. Catedral Metropolitana da Sé (Sé Metropolitan Cathedral) is located there. The square has a gothic style, started being built in 1913 and it was completed only four decades later.

With a height and width of 11 meters and 46 meters, respectively, 92-meter high towers, a 30-meter high dome, and a capacity for 8,000 people, it is the biggest church in São Paulo. In its crypt, which can be considered an underground church, there are sculptures by Francisco Leopoldo.

In 1554, after an expedition, priest Anchieta decided to build a place to accommodate Brazilian native indians and to be used as a school to teach religious subjects to them. That was how the city of São Paulo was founded. Today, the place is home to Museu de Anchieta (Anchieta Museum).
