Pátio do Colégio, Mission station and archaeological site in central São Paulo, Brazil.

The Pátio do Colégio complex includes a church, museum, and educational facilities within a Portuguese colonial architectural setting in downtown São Paulo.

Jesuit priests established this location in 1554 as the foundation site of São Paulo, constructing the first school and church using rammed earth techniques.

The Anchieta Museum houses 600 artifacts, including colonial paintings, sculptures, and documents that detail Brazilian Jesuit activities through the centuries.

The site opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours in multiple languages through its museum, church, and archaeological remains.

Original foundation stones and structural elements from 1554 remain visible beneath glass panels, allowing visitors to examine São Paulo's earliest construction methods.
