Academia de Comércio de Juiz de Fora, Educational landmark in Juiz de Fora, Brazil.

The Academia de Comércio features symmetrical neoclassical design with grand columns spanning across its main façade, located on Halfeld Street.

Founded in 1891 by Francisco Batista de Oliveira, the institution based its educational program on the Paris School of Advanced Commercial Studies model.

The building transformed from a commerce academy into Cristo Redentor College in 1901 when the Divine Word Congregation took over its administration.
