Fazenda Salto Grande, Historical farm and museum complex in Americana, Brazil.
The colonial-style building features thirty-six rooms arranged in a rectangular layout, with a central hall extending to the full height of the two-story structure.
Built in 1799 by Manoel Teixeira Vilela, the ground floor housed 300 enslaved workers while the upper floor served as the owner's residence.
The property represents the transition from slave labor to Italian immigration in Brazilian agriculture, marking significant social changes in the late 1800s.
The museum operates through scheduled visits coordinated by Projeto Raízes under the guidance of the Secretaria de Cultura e Turismo.
The walls of the building measure one meter in thickness and reach fifteen meters in height, constructed using traditional taipa de pilão techniques.
