Itu's Regional Heritage

Itu's heritage sites document the city's evolution from its 1610 foundation through the industrial era. The collection includes the Varvito Geological Park, featuring rare Ice Age sedimentary rock formations, and the 17th-century Igreja do Senhor Bom Jesus. Industrial history is represented by the Antiga Fábrica São Luiz, the state's first steam-powered textile mill. The historic center preserves colonial architecture alongside landmarks like the Cruzeiro de São Francisco and remnants of the FEPASA railway system.
