Largo de São Francisco, Square in São Paulo, Brazil

Largo de São Francisco is a public square in the historic center of São Paulo, Brazil. It is framed by buildings of the Law Faculty of the University of São Paulo, the Álvares Penteado Commerce School Foundation, the St. Francis Church, and the Church of the Third Order of Penitents, with a side street called Cristovão Colombo.

Largo de São Francisco dates back to the colonial period and grew around the St. Francis Church. Over time, it became a center for law studies with the founding of the Law Faculty in the 19th century.

The square is known as the zero marker of Brigadeiro Luis Antonio Avenue, a reference point for Paulistanos. Students and locals often pass through here, giving the area a scholarly and everyday feel.

The square is easy to reach on foot from nearby streets and is close to other central landmarks. Visit during the day when the area is more active, and wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven pavement.

The square is considered one of the main sets of Baroque architecture in São Paulo. Its side street, Cristovão Colombo, is often overlooked but adds to the historic character of the area.
