The Mosteiro de São Bento is a Catholic abbey in São Paulo, Brazil, established on 14 July 1598. Its current church, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption, was built between 1910 and 1914 by the German architect Richard Berndl in the Romanesque Revival style. The complex also includes the College of São Bento and the School of Philosophy of São Bento, and around 45 monks live there, following the ora et labora tradition.
