In 1887, a groundbreaking enterprise took root in Rio de Janeiro. The Moinho Fluminense opened its doors. It was Brazil’s first modern wheat mill. This imposing structure, resembling a grand arch, stands as a testament to a time when Rio’s Zona Portuária buzzed with industry. The Moinho Fluminense became a silent witness to key moments in Brazilian history. In 1893, Ruy Barbosa, then Minister of Finance, sought refuge within its walls. He was escaping angry sailors during the Revolta da Armada, a naval revolt against President Floriano Peixoto. Years later, the Moinho Fluminense found itself at the heart of another historical event. In 1904, during the Revolta da Vacina, the streets surrounding the mill became a battleground as the populace erected barricades, protesting mandatory vaccinations. The Moinho Fluminense’s story took a new turn in 1914. The Bunge company, a multinational food and agribusiness giant, took ownership. Bunge continued operations at this location for a century. Fast forward to 2011, Bunge renovated the Moinho Fluminense building. However, by 2013 they decided to sell the property and relocate to Duque de Caxias. Two engineering firms purchased the land, envisioning a modern complex. This complex would blend commercial, residential, and hotel spaces, capitalizing on the revitalization of the Zona Portuária. The Moinho Fluminense remains a prominent landmark. It embodies the spirit of innovation and tradition in Rio de Janeiro.
