College of the Marists, Educational institution in Lordelo do Ouro, Portugal

The College of the Marists stands proudly with its granite balustrades, mansard roof, and trapezoidal structure, following Neoclassical architectural principles throughout its design.

The building initiated its educational journey in 1895 through a petition by builder João Gomes da Silva Guerra, later housing different schools between 1926 and 1991.

Within the Music Salon, wall paintings created by A. Mello in 1899 demonstrate the commitment to incorporating artistic elements into educational spaces.

The College earned Monument of Public Interest status in 2012, establishing a Special Protection Area that maintains its architectural integrity for future generations.

Through rehabilitation efforts by architects António Portugal Mendonça and Manuel Amorim Reis, the project received the João de Almeida Prize in 2006.
