Escadaria do Bixiga, Historic stairs in Bixiga district, São Paulo, Brazil
The outdoor staircase connects Rua Treze de Maio to Morro dos Ingleses through 84 steps, reaching a height of 16 meters in central São Paulo.
Built in 1929 during Mayor Pires do Rio administration, the staircase linked the lower-class Italian neighborhood with the upper-class British golf club area.
The staircase stands as a protected heritage site, frequently used as a filming location for movies, television shows, and advertising productions in São Paulo.
The structure underwent a major renovation in 2017, receiving new lighting installations, fresh paint, and improved security measures for visitors and residents.
The steps function as a physical connection between two distinct social classes, with traditional Italian restaurants below and affluent residences above.
