Monument to Ramos de Azevedo, Bronze and granite monument in Butantã, São Paulo, Brazil

The Monument to Ramos de Azevedo is a bronze and granite structure in the University City district of São Paulo. It features two rows of Doric columns supporting an architrave, topped with a winged bronze figure on horseback that represents progress.

The monument was inaugurated in 1934 on Tiradentes Avenue to honor the architect Ramos de Azevedo. It was relocated in 1973 to the University City district when metro construction threatened its original location.

The monument was funded by public donations that raised 1,005 contos de réis, and its bronze groups were cast by Giuseppe Rebellato. At the 1934 inauguration, professor Luís Inácio de Anhaia Melo gave the speech, calling Ramos de Azevedo the centre around which the city's architectural renaissance gravitated.

The monument sits in an open area beside Avenida Professor Almeida Prado and is easy to reach on foot. The location is in the middle of the university campus, so it is best visited during daytime when the grounds are active and more people are around.

The monument was funded by public donations that reached 1,005 contos de réis, a large sum at the time. Its bronze sculptural groups were cast by Giuseppe Rebellato, while the granite pedestal and rows of Doric columns were probably built in the workshops of the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios. The opening speech in 1934 was given by professor Luís Inácio de Anhaia Melo.
