Pátio do Colégio, also known as School Yard, is a historical Jesuit church and school in São Paulo, Brazil. It's where the city was founded back in 1554 by priests Manuel da Nóbrega and José de Anchieta. The site has seen its fair share of history, from clashes with settlers to being rebuilt multiple times. Today, it houses a museum dedicated to Father José de Anchieta, showcasing colonial artifacts and paintings. So, if you're into a bit of Brazilian history and culture, this place is definitely worth checking out!
