Casa do Sítio da Ressaca, Portuguese colonial house in Jabaquara District, Brazil

The Casa do Sítio da Ressaca features thick rammed earth walls, black cinnamon wood doors and frames, and original 18th-century roof tiles with potter inscriptions.

Built in 1719, the residence served as a farm headquarters near the old Santo Amaro path, where the Barreiro stream, also known as Fagundes and Ressaca, flowed.

The building represents the traditional Portuguese construction technique of rammed earth, which became prevalent in São Paulo due to geographical isolation and material availability.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with direct access from Jabaquara metro station and several bus lines.

The structure deviates from typical bandeirista architecture through its asymmetrical layout, single off-center porch, and dual-pitched roof design.
