House at Sítio do Padre Inácio, Portuguese colonial house in Cotia, Brazil.

The House at Sítio do Padre Inácio features a symmetrical layout with a central hall, side rooms, and wooden beams adorned with carved decorative elements.

Built in the late 17th century, this residence belonged to orphans judge Roque Soares de Medela and Luzia Leme, aunt of Father Inácio Francisco Amaral.

The house exhibits traditional Brazilian bandeirista architecture with rammed earth walls, geometric patterns on doors and windows, and a four-sided roof.

Located on Padre Inácio Road in Cotia, São Paulo, the property received protection status from IPHAN in 1951 and CONDEPHAAT in 1974.

The building served as a support point for bandeirantes expeditions searching for precious stones, metals, and indigenous laborers in Brazil's interior regions.
