Rodovia dos Romeiros (official designation SP-312), also known as Estrada dos Romeiros, is a road of high historical and cultural value in the state of São Paulo, in Brazil
History
[edit ]Opened on May 1, 1922, it received its name due to the tradition of religious pilgrimages to the Sanctuary of Pirapora do Bom Jesus, carried out by faithful who used the path on foot, on horseback or in buggies. Before its official inauguration, the road was already used for recreational activities, such as picnics and festivities, including a documented visit by then-governor Washington Luis on February 18, 1922. [1]
Along its route, the road crosses areas with landscapes marked by historic coffee farms, traditional buildings and stretches of Atlantic forest. These sets were used as locations for more than 60 film productions. In 1991, the highway was included in the Tietê River Environmental Protection Area (APA), with the aim of promoting environmental preservation, leisure and cultural appreciation.[1]
During the government of Washington Luís, the road underwent paving and maintenance work, revitalizing old historical paths, such as the bandeirista path that connected São Paulo to Porto Feliz. This initiative sought to integrate cultural and historical aspects into the development of road infrastructure.[1]
