Escola Secundária Afonso Domingues, Secondary school in Marvila, Lisbon, Portugal.

The educational complex spans 20,000 square meters with three buildings, sports fields, and courtyards set within a tree-lined area in eastern Lisbon.

Founded in 1884 as Industrial Drawing School Afonso Domingues with 53 students, the institution moved to its Marvila location in 1956.

The school provided technical education in mechanics and electricity to students from rural families who migrated from Viseu district to Lisbon.

The institution operated until 2010, when it closed due to plans for constructing a new Tagus River crossing through its location.

Nobel Prize winner José Saramago studied mechanical metalworking at this school between 1935 and 1940 during his formative years.
