Hospital Pedro II, Historic hospital in Recife, Brazil.
Hospital Pedro II is a medical facility in Recife built with French pavilion-style architecture featuring several connected buildings throughout the complex. The structure displays characteristic 19th-century design with separate wings for different medical functions.
Construction started in 1847 under engineer José Mamede Alves Ferreira and the facility opened to patients in 1861. The building hosted a grand reception ball for Emperor Pedro II in 1859 before officially beginning medical operations.
The facility hosted a grand reception ball for Emperor Pedro II in 1859, prior to its official opening as a medical institution.
The building now operates as a teaching and research center under Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira with medical education and patient services. Plan ahead as the site runs active medical operations and visitor access may be limited.
The facility faced near-closure in the 1980s and was slated to become a shopping center. Community efforts successfully prevented demolition and restored it to medical service.
