This large, modern city is home to art galleries, affluent and impressive museums, world-class music venues, and the best restaurants in the country. Walking along Avenida Paulista, the financial centre of São Paulo, you will see many modern buildings, as well as Art Nouveau and Art Deco mansions and some of the city's main cultural attractions, such as Casa das Rosas, Trianon Park or the Museu de Arte de São Paulo. Nearby, there is Praça da Sé, in the heart of the city. The Catedral da Sé dominates this beautiful square. Other highlights of São Paulo's city centre include the Pátio do Colégio, the site where the city was founded, the Monastery of São Bento, the Banespa Building, the Martinelli Building (Brazil's first skyscraper), the Itália building, the Viaduct do Chá, the Municipal Theatre, the Sala São Paulo concert hall, the Luz Train Station, and the Municipal Market.
