Marsilac is one of 96 districts of São Paulo, Brazil, located in the extreme south tip of the city in the subprefecture of Parelheiros.[1] Its name is a tribute to engineer Jose Alfredo Marsilac, who developed many techniques for building roads and tunnels, even after losing 99% of his vision from being hit by a bomb in the Revolution of 1932.
