Casa do Grito, Historical house museum in Parque da Independência, Brazil

The Casa do Grito features traditional pau-a-pique construction techniques with a rectangular layout measuring 11 meters in front and 9.75 meters in depth.

The building's first documented mention dates to 1844 in Guilherme Antonio de Moraes's inventory, and the Tavares de Oliveira family owned it until 1936.

The museum shares its name with Pedro Américo's painting 'Independence or Death', which depicts a similar house at the location of Brazil's independence proclamation.

Located near the Ipiranga Museum, the Casa do Grito welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

The structure underwent restoration in 1955, including the addition of a false window to match its appearance with the house depicted in the historical painting.
