- Igreja Matriz De Sao Jose - The Mother Church was the first chapel in São José dos Campos, constructed when Indigenous people still inhabited the city, around 1643. In 1831, heavy rain caused the chapel to collapse, leaving only the altar. It was rebuilt using paving stone (walls made of crumpled and crushed clay). As mud was not a very durable material, a new church was constructed in 1934 using masonry, which is the current Mother Church.
- Municipal Market In São José dos Campos - The Municipal Market of São José dos Campos was inaugurated in 1921, built on the site where an old market occupied a third of the current area in 1896.
The remaining area featured a small square, Largo do Mercado or Largo Dáparecida, in front of the NSAparecida church, which was later dismantled and encroached upon by neighbors. It was here that farm troops gathered, bringing their goods.
The market’s expansion was part of a project to improve and expand the city and meet the health requirements of the 1920s.
