Barão de Iguape Building, Administrative tower in downtown São Paulo, Brazil.
The Barão de Iguape Building rises 133 meters with 30 floors at the intersection of Direita Street and São Bento Avenue in São Paulo.
Architects Jacques Pilon and Gian Carlo Gasperini designed this building in 1959 to serve as the headquarters for Unibanco financial institution.
The structure bears the name of Antonio da Silva Prado, the first Baron of Iguape, who held important positions in São Paulo during the 19th century.
