Barbacena is a municipality in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. As of 2013, the municipality had 132,980 inhabitants. The total area of the municipality is {{convert|788|sqkm|sqmi|abbr=on|sp=us}}.

It is in the foothills of the Serra da Mantiqueira south of the state capital Belo Horizonte at an elevation of {{convert|1,136|m|ft|abbr=on|sp=us}}, making it one of the ten highest cities in Brazil. Located on the important BR-040 highway (also called Rodovia JK), which links Brasília to Rio de Janeiro, it is {{convert|165|km|mi|abbr=on|sp=us}} from the state capital and {{convert|97|km|mi|abbr=on|sp=us}} Juiz de Fora.

Barbacena has a humid tropical climate with cool summers due to the elevation. Summer averages are {{convert|24|C|F|abbr=on|sp=us}} and winter averages {{convert|13|C|F|abbr=on|sp=us}}. The cool climate and abundant rainfall have made Barbacena a center for flower production — the city is the biggest producer of flowers in Minas Gerais, and is nicknamed "City of Roses". Cattle raising and the dairy industry are quite developed and the city is a big producer of milk products; there are also several small textile factories.

Barbacena is also the home of the Preparatory School of Air Cadets (the sixteenth best high school of the country,[2] which belongs to the Brazilian Air Force) and of a Medical School, Faculdade de Medicina de Barbacena (Faculty of Medicine of Barbacena). The city is also famous for the Hospital Colônia de Barbacena, a mental hospital founded in 1903, which was known for its abusive treatment of patients.[3] According to sources, 70% of the patients did not have mental illness,[3] and allegedly 60,000 people died in the hospital.[3] It ceased operations in the mid-1980s. It has been compared to a Nazi concentration camp.[3]

Barbacena was the birthplace of the human rights activist and lawyer Heráclito Fontoura Sobral Pinto.

Barbacena was a station on the Estrada de Ferro Oeste de Minas, a narrow gauge railway.

History

Barbacena was founded on 14 August 1791.

In the 19th century, Barbacena was a principal distribution center for the mining districts of Minas Gerais, but this distinction was lost when the railways were extended beyond that point.[4]
