Liceu Domingos Ramos, Secondary school in Plateau district, Praia, Cape Verde.

Liceu Domingos Ramos is a public secondary school in the Plateau, the historic centre of Praia. It occupies an L-shaped Art Deco building designed by Luís de Melo, the architect of the 1961 Palace of Justice on Praça Albuquerque. Its interior is decorated with Portuguese azulejo panels depicting events from Portuguese colonial history.

The school was established in 1960 as Liceu Adriano Moreira and received its current name in 1975 following Cape Verde's independence, honoring independence activist Domingos Ramos. The name change marked the country's transition to a new national identity.

The school's name honours Domingos Ramos, a PAIGC fighter from Guinea-Bissau killed in 1966, chosen when the school was renamed in 1975. Its interior carries Portuguese azulejo panels depicting events from Portuguese colonial history, still in place in a school that now trains Cape Verdean students.

The school stands in the northern part of the Plateau, Praia's city centre, and is an active public secondary school with around 2,300 students, 63 classes and 110 teachers. Access to the interior is restricted during school activities, so visitors should plan to view the L-shaped Art Deco building and its azulejo panels from outside.

The interior azulejo panels depict events from Portuguese colonial history, a decorative programme that survived the 1975 renaming. Among the alumni are two presidents of Cape Verde, Jorge Carlos Fonseca and José Maria Neves, plus Prime Minister Ulisses Correia e Silva and cardinal Arlindo Gomes Furtado.
