The Courtyard of the College is an archaeological site, where was built the first construction of the present city of São Paulo, when Father Manuel da Nobrega and then novice José de Anchieta, and other Jesuit priests at the request of Portugal and the Society of Jesus, established a nucleus for indigenous catechizing purposes in the Planalto.
The Courtyard of the College is the initial milestone in the birth of the city of São Paulo. The place, high on a hill between the Tamanduateí and Anhangabaú rivers, was chosen to begin the catechization of the indigenous people.
On January 25, 1554, in front of the palm-tree-covered hut of about ninety square meters - or, as described by Anchieta, ten by fourteen craveiros steps (carnation pass was a Portuguese linear measure) - was held in front of it. which officialized the birth of the Jesuit college. In 1556, Father Afonso Brás, the forerunner of Brazilian architecture, was responsible for the construction in a rammed earth pylon of a college and its annexed church. Quarrels between the settlers and the religious who defended the Indians culminated in the expulsion of the Jesuits from the site in 1640, where they would not return until thirteen years later. In the second half of the 17th century, the third building was built, made of pestle and stone.
The Courtyard of the College was the seat of the São Paulo government between 1765 and 1912, after the appropriation of the place by the state, serving as the palace of the Governors, due to the expulsion of the Jesuits from Portuguese lands, determined by the Marquis of Pombal in 1759. The former colonial mansion was completely uncharacterized by profound reforms throughout this period, especially in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
There are fragments of a wall from 1585, reminiscent of the former Jesuit college in the present building, which is inspired by the original 17th century, as the church was demolished in 1896 and the Governors' Palace in 1953, opening the whole in its current format. 1979.
