Hospital Pedro II, Historic hospital in Recife, Brazil.

The hospital structure follows French pavilion architecture patterns developed by physician Jacques-René Tenon, with multiple connected buildings throughout the complex.

Construction of Hospital Pedro II began in 1847 under engineer José Mamede Alves Ferreira, and the facility opened its doors to patients in March 1861.

The facility hosted a grand reception ball for Emperor Pedro II in 1859, prior to its official opening as a medical institution.

The hospital now serves as a teaching institution under Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira, providing medical education and patient care services.

Following its near-closure in 1982, community efforts prevented the building from becoming a shopping center and restored it to its original healthcare purpose.
