A virtual journey through our history and architecture

Its name is a tribute to the Proclamation of the Republic. However, the street was once known as Rosário Street, in reference to the old Church of the Rosary of Black Men, and Empress Street, in honor of the Portuguese royal family.

With the arrival of the tram, the street became frequented by São Paulo's elite, and the old wattle and daub constructions gave way to new buildings with classical architectural influences brought from Europe and the USA. Years later, it became known as the "street of banks."

Our headquarters features neoclassical style with monumentality, symmetry, and imposing porticos. It was built in 1940 to serve as the headquarters of the Bank of Commerce and Industry of São Paulo - Comind, by Rangel Christoffel and Olavo Caiuby.

The 'bocas de lobo,' or 'wolf mouths,' were accessories used for night deposits during the period when it housed the Comind.

The metal plaque from Bovespa dates back to the period when the institution operated in this building. Maintaining the classical and symmetrical style, it integrates harmoniously with the noble coatings used since the beginning of the construction.

Over time, the building has also hosted iconic IPOs that punctually transformed its facade. These ceremonies symbolize the companies' initial public offerings, when the first sales of their shares occur through a public offering.

The building has also been the setting for auctions and concessions of public companies. Important privatizations have taken place here, such as that of the Tietê Electric Power Generation Company, São Paulo Metro lines, infrastructure auctions, among others.

After the closure of the open outcry trading session, the lobby of the building underwent a transformation, aiming to attract visitors and provide an informative experience about the capital market.

Opened in 2006, the Bovespa Space was revamped in 2008 as the BM&FBovespa Space and renamed the Raymundo Magliano Filho Visiting Space two years later. In 2019, it bid farewell with a "see you soon" from the lobby.

In 2020, the ground floor of B3 inaugurated a new phase. Transformations on the ground floor provide a renewed experience for visitors, auctions and events. Highlights include the LED panel, cafeteria and, of course, the MUB3 - Brazil's Stock Exchange Museum. 

MUB3 preserves and shares the history of the Brazilian capital market. The exhibition takes a  thematic and chronological approach to the early exchanges and their contribution to the country's economic and social development.
