Colônia Juliano Moreira is an area of 7,000,000 square meters (the same size as the Copacabana neighborhood), located in Jacarepaguá, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Colônia Juliano Moreira also has an area with several residences housing thousands of people, and it also has an incredible museum called "Bispo do Rosário," and this population gave rise to the sub-neighborhood of Colônia.
The Neighborhood in the Engenho Period
Colônia Juliano Moreira originated from one of the oldest sugarcane mills in Jacarepaguá. In 1664 it was called Fazenda Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, and in 1778 it received the name Engenho Novo da Taquara. Construction of the mill and the Capela Nossa Senhora dos Remédios began in the 1660s, and memories of the space and the original nucleus still exist.
Construction of Colônia Juliano Moreira
1912 - The Nossa Senhora dos Remédios sugarcane and cornmeal mill lands were vacated.
1919 - Construction began on the Colônia de Psicopatas Homens de Jacarepaguá (the facility's former name), a project carried out by psychiatrist Juliano Moreira.
1924 - Inauguration of the Colônia de Psicopatas Homens de Jacarepaguá.
1935 -- The Institution's name was changed following the death of its founder, when it became known as Colônia Juliano Moreira.
Why does the neighborhood have this name?
It is named in homage to Juliano Moreira, a Brazilian psychiatrist who was considered the founder of the psychiatric discipline and of psychoanalysis in Brazil due to the advances he promoted. Moreira was the first Brazilian university professor to cite and incorporate psychoanalytic theory into the teaching of medicine, and he started the project at Colônia.

The colony today with its institutions
It has institutions that care for people with chemical dependency, psychiatric illnesses, alcoholism, and other disorders. These institutions are:
• CHILD DAYCARE CENTER
•CAPS ALCOHOL AND DRUGS
I need more context to provide an accurate translation. The text "CAPS II E III" appears to be an isolated fragment, likely referring to types of Brazilian mental health care centers (Centros de Atenção Psicossocial, levels II and III). If this is meant to remain as an abbreviation/proper name, it may not require translation. Here is a direct rendering: CAPS II AND III If you can provide the surrounding text or fuller passage, I can ensure the translation fits naturally within context and follows the formatting rules correctly.
•THERAPEUTIC RESIDENCES
NÚCLEO FRANCO DA ROCHA
•JURANDIR MANFREDINI PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
JURANDIR MANFREDINI PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL is one of the reference hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, and one of the few remaining SUS psychiatric hospitals in Rio de Janeiro.
The population nowadays
The population increased a lot more, commercialization also expanded, now we have plenty of businesses, and the old colony, where the Nossa Senhora dos Remédios farm used to be, became a place for shooting music videos and filming soap operas. Photos of the Nossa Senhora dos Remédios Farm nowadays.
