Number zero survey marker of the city of São Paulo
Number zero survey marker of the city of São Paulo, Geographic monument in Praça da Sé, São Paulo, Brazil
The hexagonal marble pillar stands in front of São Paulo Cathedral, marking the point from which all road distances in the city are measured.
Inaugurated in 1934, this monument became the first geographic reference point in South America, following a proposal by journalist Américo R. Netto in 1921.
The six faces of the monument display bronze engravings representing different Brazilian regions, including Santos with a steamship and Paraná with an Araucaria tree.
Visitors can locate the monument at the intersection of multiple metro lines, making it a central meeting point in downtown São Paulo.
The bronze plaque on the monument indicates important locations of 1934 São Paulo, including Paulista Avenue, Ipiranga Museum, and the Tietê River.
