Instituto Benjamin Constant, Educational institute in central Manaus, Brazil.

Instituto Benjamin Constant is an educational institute housed in a 19th-century building on Rua Ramos Ferreira in central Manaus. The structure displays classical architectural features and contains spacious interior areas designed for teaching and learning.

The institute was founded in 1884 and occupies the building of the former Palacete do Barão de São Leonardo. Since its establishment, it has grown to become one of the region's major educational institutions.

The name honours Benjamin Constant Botelho de Magalhães, the military officer after whom the 1892 decree renamed the former orphanage. From 1893 the Congregation of the Daughters of Saint Anne, arrived from Italy, ran the school, and a chapel dedicated to Saint Anne was inaugurated in 1929 and enlarged in the 1940s. The Teatrinho Santa Rosa, installed in 1930, staged plays performed by the pupils themselves.

You can reach the institute by public transportation to the Centro district, with the main entrance on Rua Ramos Ferreira. The street location makes it straightforward to find the building and explore the immediate surroundings on foot.

The building merges educational functions with heritage protection status, recognized by both COMPPAC and CEDPHA certifications. This dual role makes it an unusual example of combining active teaching with historical preservation.
