Obelisco do Centro do Estado, State center obelisk at SP-255 and SP-215 intersection, Dourado, Brazil

The white obelisk stands 12 meters tall at the intersection of Commander João Ribeiro de Barros and Luis Augusto de Oliveira highways in São Paulo state.

The monument construction dates back to the early 1950s, marking the geometric center of São Paulo state, although exact inauguration records remain undocumented.

The obelisk represents a geographical milestone for São Paulo state, attracting visitors interested in understanding the territorial dimensions of the region.

Located 265 kilometers from São Paulo city, 48 kilometers from São Carlos, and 90 kilometers from Bauru, the monument offers convenient highway access.

Scientific analysis revealed the true geometric center lies 1.5 kilometers away from the monument, which was built in a public area for better accessibility.
