The article  The Moorish Pavilion in the context of eclecticism in Rio de Janeiro explores the design and architecture of the moorish pavilion, the famous building at Fiocruz’s headquarters, which is the greatest symbol of the institution.

Figure 5 : Definitive design of the Moorish Pavilion by the Portuguese architect Luiz Moraes Jr., 1908 (DAD/Fiocruz collecion). The building was completed in 1918.

Renato da Gama-Rosa Costa and Inês El-Jaick Andrade, professors of the Postgraduate Program in the Preservation and Management of Health and Science Heritage at Casa de Oswaldo Cruz/Fiocruz discuss aesthetic features and influences, such as the Alhambra, in Spain and the Berlin Synagogue. The article also analyses the  urban setting in which it was built and explores some of the main works on the historiography of Brazilian architecture.

This article is part of the dossier on the moorish pavilion (HCSM Apr./June 2020), one of the institutional initiatives to celebrate the 120 years of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation.
