The school was first installed in a monastery building from the Franciscan order, which was later rebuilt many times, one of them after a fire. The most recent construction dates from 1934 . A number of Brazilian politicians and famous writers have studied at Largo São Francisco since its foundation - for instance, Monteiro Lobato , Castro Alves and Rui Barbosa . It is said that the students who came from all over the country to study at São Francisco gave the then dull town of Sao Paulo a bohemian and cultural lifestyle, which is now a part of the city's character. There is a gravestone in its patio, where Julius Frank , a German professor dear to students, was buried in 1841 . Because Frank was a protestant, he could not be buried in any of the Catholic graveyards in Sao Paulo, so the students chose to bury him inside the school as a homage. |
