Prédio da Santa Casa da Misericórdia, Colonial medical building in Feira de Santana, Brazil.
The Santa Casa da Misericórdia building stands on Praça Carlos Bahia, featuring classical Portuguese colonial architecture with symmetrical windows and high ceilings.
Colonel João Pedreira constructed this mansion in the 1850s to accommodate Emperor Dom Pedro II during his planned visit to Northeast Brazil.
The structure represents the early healthcare system of Brazil, where religious organizations provided medical care through institutions like Santa Casa da Misericórdia.
The building received heritage status from the Institute of Artistic and Cultural Heritage of Bahia in 2008, making it a protected architectural landmark.
Initially built as an imperial residence, the structure transformed into a hospital with 39 beds before becoming a childcare facility named Palácio do Menor.
