Candler College and Colegio Buenavista, Methodist educational complex in Marianao, Cuba.

The three-story educational buildings feature eclectic architecture with multiple entrances, sports fields, gardens, courtyards, and dedicated academic spaces.

Founded by the United States Southern Methodist Episcopal Church, Candler College opened in 1899 and Colegio Buenavista in 1920, operating until nationalization in 1961.

The institutions provided bilingual education in Spanish and English while integrating Bible classes and Methodist values throughout all grade levels.

The complex included separate facilities for boys and girls, residential accommodations, school transportation services, and lunch programs for non-resident students.

In 1956, the institution expanded to create Candler University, establishing new faculties including Pedagogy, Languages, Philosophy, and Letters.
