Beco do Pinto, Historical alley in downtown São Paulo, Brazil
The granite staircase passage connects Roberto Simonsen and Bitterncourt Rodrigues streets through a stone-covered pathway between Casa Número Um and Solar da Marquesa de Santos.
During colonial Brazil, the alley facilitated movement between Largo da Sé and Tamanduateí River, serving as a route for water collection and waste disposal by slaves.
The passage currently functions as an exhibition space under Casa da Imagem management, displaying installations created specifically for this historical location.
The site remains accessible to visitors interested in exploring the architectural features and contemporary art installations within São Paulo's downtown district.
The passage bears the name of Brigadeiro José Joaquim Pinto de Moraes Leme, who attempted to restrict access by installing gates in 1821.
