It is home to the Campos Elíseos Palace, the former seat of the São Paulo State Government, which belonged to the aristocrat and politician Elias Antônio Pacheco e Chaves. After a fire, the seat of government was transferred to the Bandeirantes Palace in Morumbi. Later, the building housed the São Paulo State Secretariat for Science, Technology and Economic Development. Júlio Prestes Cultural Center and Júlio Prestes Station, which was remodeled to become the city's largest concert hall, are also located in the area.[2][3]
