History Liberdade was known as Campo da Forca (''Field of the Gallows'') until the late 19th century, and was an area reserved for the execution of slaves and convicts. Death was considered the only path to liberty (''liberdade'') for slaves. The condemned were led to the Igreja Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte (''Church of Our Lady of Good Death'') to perform a final prayer for a rapid and painless death. The church remains on Rua do Carmo at the corner of Rua Tabatinguera.

Neighbourhoods In São Paulo
A neighbourhood (British English, Irish English, Australian English and Canadian English) or neighborhood (American English; see spelling differences) is a geographically localised community within a larger city, town, suburb or rural area, sometimes consisting of a single street and the buildings lining it. Neighbourhoods are often social communities with considerable face-to-face interaction among members. Researchers have not agreed on an exact definition, but the following may serve as a starting point: "Neighbourhood is generally defined spatially as a specific geographic area and functionally as a set of social networks. Neighbourhoods, then, are the spatial units in which face-to-face social interactions occur—the personal settings and situations where residents seek to realise common values, socialise youth, and maintain effective social control."
