House at Sítio do Mandu, Bandeirista house in Cotia, Brazil

The rectangular building features front and rear porches, mud walls, and a four-sided roof with extended eaves spanning the entire structure.

The House at Sítio do Mandu was constructed in the early 18th century as a residence during the Portuguese colonial period in Brazil.

The interior contains a chapel next to the porch, adorned with decorated ceiling and altar, reflecting the religious practices of colonial Brazil.

The Department of Tourism of Cotia Municipality manages guided visits to this historical house, which underwent restoration work in the 1960s.

The building stands out among similar structures for its rear veranda and evidence of wooden flooring, which was uncommon in colonial residences.
