Discover more about Monument to Ramos de Azevedo

The Monument to Ramos de Azevedo, located in São Paulo, is a striking tribute to Francisco de Paula Ramos de Azevedo (1851-1928), one of the most influential architects and urban planners in the city's history. Designed by Italian-Brazilian sculptor Galileo Emendabili, the monument was inaugurated on January 25, 1934, the city's anniversary, as a posthumous honor. Azevedo's work was instrumental in transforming São Paulo at the turn of the 20th century, aligning it with European artistic and cultural trends. He designed numerous public and private buildings, including the Municipal Theater, the Pinacoteca do Estado, and the Mercado Municipal. The monument, initially erected in front of the Pinacoteca, a building designed by Azevedo himself, was moved to its current location at the Cidade Universitária Armando de Salles Oliveira in 1973 due to subway construction. The monument stands as a symbol of São Paulo's progress and its connection to the economic growth of the time. It features intricate sculptures and details that reflect the artistic spirit of the era. The surrounding gardens offer a serene escape from the bustling city, inviting visitors to stroll, photograph, and appreciate the beauty of this cultural site.
