The Pátio do Colégio marks the place where the city of São Paulo was founded. It is now a center for cultural activity. Initially a Jesuit school was built in this spot with the help of the local Guaianás Native American inhabitants. Besides the school itself and a church, the Achieta Museum is also housed here, displaying original sculptures by the Guarani native inhabitants, and a model reproduction of São Paulo in the 16th century.
