description São Paulo of Piratininga, as Brazil, was born under the symbol of the cross. During the first decades of the 1500s, there were few places that offered so much abundance as the region inhabited by the tupiniquim indians, called Fields of Piratininga, which means “dried fishes”. The reference point of the oldest catholic settlements was the mother church, from which the new cities emerged. Inaugurated on January 25th 1954, at the fourth centenary of the foundation of the city of São Paulo, the Cathedral of Sé, built predominantly in gothic style, is a historical, religious and social symbol. Its architecture holds the beliefs of the people and the square in front of it is the scene of popular demonstrations. The verticality and the light provided by its colorful glass windows, typical features of gothic structures, seek to create an atmosphere of ascension towards heaven. This style is only broken by the presence of an unusual structural element in buildings with this architecture: a renaissance dome. In 1934, the square of the church became the zero mile marker of the city. In the 70s, it received a subway station. In the Cathedral, monuments, like the statue of Padre Anchieta, are present. It is also a meeting place for the unemployed. And right in front of this public area is the Cathedral, built next to Praça João Mendes. This article presents some historical and architectural aspects that have led to the construction of the current mother church of the city: the Cathedral of Sé. Previous buildings are presented and the motivations of its construction, especially the architectural ones are highlighted, in order to help the enrichment of the history of the city of Sao Paulo.

São Paulo de Piratininga, así como Brasil, surgió bajo el símbolo de la cruz. En las primeras décadas del 1500, había pocos hogares que ofreciesen tanta riqueza como la región habitada por los indios tupiniquins, que la llamaran de Campos de Piratininga, que significa “pescados secos”. El punto referencial de las antiguas poblaciones católicas era la iglesia matriz, de la cual se constituía la nueva ciudad. Inaugurada el 25 de enero de 1954, durante el IV Centenario de la fundación da ciudad de São Paulo, la Catedral da Sé, construida sobre todo en estilo gótico, es un símbolo histórico, religioso y social. Su arquitectura alberga las creencias de un pueblo e su plaza es el escenario de manifestaciones populares. La verticalidad y la iluminación proporcionada por sus vitrales coloridos, característicos de las estructuras góticas, buscan la atmósfera celestial. Este estilo solo se rompe por la presencia de un elemento estructural no común en edificios con esta arquitectura: una cúpula renacentista. En 1934, la Plaza da Sé se ha convertido en el punto cero da ciudad. En los años 70, recibió la estación de metro. En Sé, monumentos, como la estatua del Padre Anchieta, están presentes. También es punto de encuentro para los desempleados. Y justo delante dese espacio público, se encuentra la Catedral da Sé, construida junto a la Plaza João Mendes. Este artículo presenta algunos aspectos históricos y arquitectónicos que resultaron en la actual iglesia matriz de la ciudad: la Catedral de São Paulo. Son presentados los edificios anteriores y se resaltan las motivaciones de su construcción, sobre todo arquitectónicas, con el fin de contribuir para el enriquecimiento de la historia de la ciudad de São Paulo. São Paulo de Piratininga, assim como o Brasil, surgiu sob o símbolo da cruz. Nas primeiras décadas de 1500, havia poucos lugares que oferecessem tanta fartura, como a região habitada pelos índios tupiniquins, que a intitularam de Campos de Piratininga, que significa “peixes secos”. O ponto referencial das antigas povoações católicas era a igreja matriz, da qual se constituía a nova cidade. Inaugurada aos 25 de janeiro de 1954, por ocasião do IV Centenário da fundação da cidade de São Paulo, a Catedral da Sé, construída essencialmente em estilo gótico, é um símbolo histórico, religioso e social. Sua Arquitetura abriga as crenças de um povo, e sua praça é palco de manifestações populares. A verticalidade e a iluminação fornecida por seus vitrais coloridos, anseios típicos das estruturas góticas, buscam a atmosfera de elevação aos céus. Este estilo é somente quebrado pela presença de um elemento estrutural incomum em edificações com esta Arquitetura: uma cúpula renascentista. Em 1934, a Praça da Sé tornou-se o marco zero da cidade. Na década de 70, recebeu a estação do Metrô. Na Sé, monumentos, como a estátua do Padre Anchieta, estão presentes. É também ponto de encontro de desempregados. E, bem em frente a este logradouro público, está a Catedral da Sé, construída junto à Praça João Mendes. Este artigo visa apresentar alguns aspectos históricos e arquitetônicos que levaram à obra da atual igreja matriz da cidade: a Catedral de São Paulo. São apresentadas as edificações anteriores e ressaltadas as motivações de sua construção, sobretudo arquitetônicas, de modo a auxiliar no enriquecimento da história da cidade de São Paulo.
