Casa Europa, Portuguese colonial building in Bidau Lecidere, East Timor.
Casa Europa stands as a single-story structure with three modules arranged in U-shape, featuring full-length gable roofs and traditional colonial elements.
Built in 1899 as infantry barracks, the building served as Japanese headquarters during World War II and later transformed into administrative offices.
The building represents the architectural legacy of Portuguese presence in East Timor and now functions as a center for European Union diplomatic activities.
Located in central Dili, the structure maintains its original design elements including four entrance columns and north-facing orientation toward the coral reef.
The building survived the 1999 crisis, underwent two major renovations funded by European institutions, and remains the oldest structure in Dili center.
