Glória Imortal dos Fundadores de São Paulo, Monument at Pátio do Colégio, São Paulo, Brazil.

The granite and bronze monument rises 25 meters high, featuring a female figure at its peak holding a torch, laurel branch, and sickle.

The monument, inaugurated in 1925, commemorates the city's founders through bronze bas-reliefs depicting the first mass of 1554 and other settlement events.

Four medallions on the pedestal display portraits of influential figures, including Martin Afonso de Souza and King John III of Portugal.

The monument stands at the exact location where São Paulo city began, making it a central point for understanding the municipality's origins.

Italian sculptor Amedeo Zani created the monument pieces in Rome between 1911 and 1913, with bronze casting by Orestes Bongirolami company.
