Casa do Povo

Casa do Povo opened in 1953 as an initiative of Jews from Eastern Europe, in order to pursue new paths of cultural heritage “Yiddish”, in reference to the language spoken by these immigrants, and promote humanistic and progressive ideals.

With a modernist architecture, five floors, theater and library, Casa do Povo completed 60 years in 2014 in the traditional neighborhood of Bom Retiro and established itself as a cultural centre engaged with its story and contemporary thoughts.
