History

Designed and built by Francisco de Paula Ramos de Azevedo, the classic French style mansion was the Ramos de Azevedo family home until 1985.[1] The building was designed in 1930 and construction was completed in 1935.[2]

On 22 October 1985 the Casa das Rosas was listed by Condephaat as a landmark. After a renovation, the Casa das Rosas was reopened on 19 September 1995.[1]

In 2004 Casa das Rosas changed its name to include Espaço Haroldo de Campos de Poesia e Literatura (English: Haroldo de Campos Poetry and Literature Space). The Casa das Rosas has a legal mandate to:

  • promote and disseminate poetry and literature in general,
  • preserve the Haroldo de Campos Collection (donated by his family),
  • preserve the building itself.[1]

Operated by the Secretary of Culture of the state of São Paulo, approximately 80,000 visitors a year participate in courses, workshops, exhibitions, and presentions of various kinds at the Casa das Rosas.[1]
