Edificio Isabel Bongard, Historical monument in La Serena, Chile.

The building features a symmetrical two-level structure organized around a central axis with two side courtyards and neoclassical architectural elements.

The structure served as the Normal School for Female Teachers from 1890 to 1940, training primary education instructors under German educational methods.

Under Isabel Bongard's leadership as director, appointed by President Balmaceda in 1890, the school incorporated scientific and secular teaching approaches.

Located at Amunategui Street 851, the building now functions as part of the University of La Serena, maintaining its educational purpose.

The building's original design included fruit gardens, palm trees, cypresses, and oriental plane trees surrounding the educational complex.
