Barra Funda District, Administrative district in western São Paulo, Brazil

The Barra Funda district extends over 5.6 square kilometers, featuring residential areas, commercial buildings, transportation terminals, and sports facilities.

The region emerged from the Iguape Farm owned by the Baron of Iguape in 1850, transforming into multiple smaller estates including the notable Carvalho Estate.

The district contains the Latin America Memorial, designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1989, plus the São Pedro Theater and the Camisa Verde e Branco samba school.

The intermodal Barra Funda terminal connects metro line 3, intercity buses, and train services, making it a central transportation hub for São Paulo.

The first automatic telephone exchange in São Paulo opened on Brigadeiro Galvão Street in 1928, with the original structure remaining preserved today.
