Vila Itororó Cultural Center
Final da Rua sem saída ao lado do Prédio Azul - R. Maestro Cardim - Bela Vista, São Paulo - SP, 01323-000
Restored ruin of houses and a bathhouse, now a cultural center with a public kitchen, not a cafe.
This guide to Vila Itororó Cultural Center in São Paulo traces the hillside village built by Francisco de Castro, whose 1929 bathhouse offered steam baths and dancing to São Paulo's elite. You'll hear how his death left the property in debt to a hospital charity, decades of abandonment that a 1984 report called destruction by neglect, and the city's restoration effort beginning in 2009. Listen for how the reopened center still gathers people around food today.
