Prédio da Antiga Faculdade de Medicina da Bahia, Former medical faculty building in Historic Centre of Salvador, Brazil

The Prédio da Antiga Faculdade de Medicina da Bahia is an eclectic building reworked in 1905 by engineer Teodoro Sampaio and French architect Victor Dubugras from the old Jesuit College of 1553. Its facade facing Terreiro de Jesus keeps the original entablature and window rhythm, with false classical pediments added. It stands abandoned and at risk of collapse.

The building was constructed in 1905 and replaced the Jesuit College that previously stood on this site. It housed Brazil's first medical school, which was established in 1808 when the Portuguese Crown arrived in Brazil.

The building's name recalls the Jesuit College of 1553 that preceded it and the School of Surgery founded by decree of D. João VI on 18 February 1808, Brazil's first higher-education institution. Its graduates include Nina Rodrigues, Afrânio Peixoto, Juliano Moreira and Pirajá da Silva. Since the medical faculty moved out in 2004, the secretariat and university extension projects have occupied the building.

The building faces Terreiro de Jesus, next to the Cathedral of Salvador in the historic centre. It is abandoned and at risk of collapse, so it can only be viewed from the square; entry is not possible. In 2020 it was still abandoned despite a court order obliging IPHAN to restore it.

The building combines architectural elements from different periods and preserves the original entablature that connects with the facade of Salvador Cathedral. This architectural connection shows how the structure is linked to the religious and urban life around it.
