Now a bit of São Paulo's "Historical Triangle" where the financial district used to be. Today, only banks' backoffices stay there and the stock exchange (although everything is online this days). It's still São Paulo's judicial centre though.
It's full of classical buildings, very impressive art nouveau (at least two more impressive than anything I've seen in Brussels) and the street is a mixed of Manhattan's Financial District and pedestranized areas of European city centres. Pics don't capture perfectly, but on the ground, streets much few narrower, giving a mix of medieval/Gotham City vibes. Unfortunately the region is still impacted by urban decay, although remains as country's bigger retail centre geared towards low prices.
