Introduction
SANTA MARIA DO MONJOLINHO FARM – São Carlos/SP - 230 Km
The architectural ensemble of Santa Maria Farm began in 1850, when the farm was cleared by the family of Major José Inácio de Camargo. At that time, they built the slave quarters and the house of the captain of the woods. Thus, coffee planting began, and due to the high productivity and development of the region, in 1887, the main house was built to welcome D. Pedro II, who was in São Carlos to inaugurate the arrival of the trains.
With the aim of gaining the title of Baron of Pinhal, Major José Inácio and his brother Theodoro had the idea of building a “Grand Mansion,” with the refinement of the palaces of Europe, bringing urban luxury to a rural area. The project was carried out by an Italian engineer, David Casinelli, and all construction materials, such as cement, stained glass, and frescoes were brought from Europe.
The coffee warehouses served neighboring farmers who used the processing machine and the farm's train station to transport their productions. Energy was generated by the large water wheel. The yards, the magnificent aqueduct, the sawmill, the workshop, the stables, and the administrator's house complete the buildings preserved by the Camargo and Souza Campos families, which were listed by CONDEPHAAT as Historical, Cultural, and Educational Heritage.
