Overview
Casa das Rosas, completed in 1935 in French mansion style, is the last building on Paulista Avenue to preserve the atmosphere of the old estate era amid a forest of skyscrapers. Built as the home of the Ramos de Azevedo architectural family, it was purchased by the city of São Paulo in 1985 and has operated as a literary cultural center since 1991. The rose vines in its garden gave the house its name, and inside it hosts poetry readings, literary exhibitions, and workshops in a peaceful setting. Admission is free, and the garden café is a nice place to relax.
Opening Hours
Tue-Sun 10:00-17:30 (garden open 07:00-22:00), closed Mondays.
