Edifício Martinelli
Rua Líbero Badaró, 504 - Centro Histórico de São Paulo, São Paulo - SP, 01008-000, Brazil
São Paulo's first true skyscraper and a symbol of the city's transformation into a metropolis! This 30-story marvel was built by Italian immigrant Giuseppe Martinelli in 1929 and remained Latin America's tallest building for years. The distinctive red granite ground floor immediately catches your eye. The building is steeped in history — its creator once lived in the penthouse, and today it houses municipal offices. It's a living testament to the ambitions and dreams of the coffee baron era.
