This work puts together some results of an inventory of Cultural Heritage of the city of Itu [SP], Brazil. Here the topic on rural architecture, which, although not yet complete, has so far conducted surveys in some major considerations, will focus on two aspects: first, the relationship between the maintenance of the “bandeirista” architectural tradition and the mining influence in second half of the 18th century and the mid-nineteenth; second is the constitution, in the 19th century, of the poly cultivators’ core. Unlike of western of the State of São Paulo, where new plants were formed, particularly focused on coffee production, Itu is a singular case by two factors: first by a significant variety of housing types headquarters, which emphasizes the maintenance of the “bandeirista” party with traces of the mining influence experienced in the “torna-viagem” cycle; secondly, the farms aren’t just taken as mono cultivators production units, they are poly cultivators.
