Dr. Álvaro Guião State School, Secondary school in São Carlos, Brazil

Dr. Álvaro Guião State School is a school building in São Carlos featuring marble finishes and decorative iron elements throughout its prominent central structure. The facility comprises multiple classrooms and functional spaces organized within its main building.

Founded in 1911 as São Carlos Normal Secondary School, the institution was renamed in 1939 to honor education secretary Álvaro Guião. This change marked an important milestone in the school's development and its growing role in local education.

The building blends eclectic design with art nouveau touches that visitors notice in its decorative iron elements and overall structure. These architectural choices reflect how European styles were adapted and interpreted in this Brazilian city during the early 20th century.

The school is located on Avenida São Carlos and is easily recognizable as a large central building in the city. Visitors planning to visit should arrange access in advance and respect school hours.

The building received recognition in 2012 as one of the seven wonders of São Carlos, highlighting its importance to the city. This honor reflects how locals value the structure for its architectural and historical significance.
