Cultural Landscape of Paranapiacaba
Cultural Landscape of Paranapiacaba by Roman Bruehwiler
Paranapiacaba was a Railway Village built by a British company in the 19th century. The village was created as a European-style company town for the railway workers, who were often immigrants. The railway itself was a piece of ingenuity as it had to conquer the Serra do Mar Mountain Range.
