College of the Marists
College of the Marists, Educational institution in Lordelo do Ouro, Portugal
The College of the Marists is an educational building in Lordelo do Ouro designed in the Neoclassical style with distinctive architectural features. It features granite balustrades, a mansard roof, and a trapezoidal structure that reflects the design principles of its period.
The building began its educational mission in 1895 following a petition from builder João Gomes da Silva Guerra. It housed different schools between 1926 and 1991 before being designated for protection.
The Music Salon inside displays wall paintings created by A. Mello in 1899, showing how artistic elements were integrated into learning spaces. These decorative details remain visible to visitors exploring the building.
The building earned Monument of Public Interest status in 2012, providing formal protection for its architectural features. As a protected site, it can be visited while respecting its conservation requirements.
The building underwent comprehensive rehabilitation by architects António Portugal Mendonça and Manuel Amorim Reis, earning the João de Almeida Prize in 2006. This restoration project demonstrated successful methods for preserving the structure's historical character.
