The Martinelli Building is a 28-story skyscraper located in downtown São Paulo. Standing 105 meters tall, it was the first skyscraper built in Brazil and marks the beginning of the city's high-rise architectural history. Travelers visit this landmark to see its early 20th-century design and to view the city skyline from its upper levels.

Visit Duration
Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to explore the building and take in the views from the observation area.
