Crucifixo

The Crucifixo is a monument standing 2.25 meters tall, made from granite, bronze, and metal materials combined into a single structure. The work brings together these materials to create a unified religious form.

The monument received official heritage designation in 1978 as part of São Paulo's effort to document important landmarks. This recognition secured its status as a protected site in the city.

The cross represents religious faith in this neighborhood and stands in a public space where people encounter it daily. It reflects how religious expression remains woven into São Paulo's everyday urban landscape.

The monument is located in Vila Mariana and is easily accessible on foot with good public transportation connections nearby. The spot invites casual visits while exploring the neighborhood.

The cross unusually combines three different materials - granite, bronze, and metal - in a single religious artwork. This mix of building materials sets it apart from more traditional crosses found elsewhere in the city.
