Central School in Bucharest, Historic educational monument in Bucharest, Romania.
The Central School building features decorative tile work above window frames and classical corridors arranged around a central square garden.
Architect Ion Mincu completed the building in 1890, transforming the former Princely Girls' High-school into a representation of Romanian Revival architecture.
The building design incorporates traditional Romanian motifs, including polychrome ceramic ornaments, trilobate arches, and tiled roofs reflecting national identity.
Located on Ion Mincu Street, the building maintains its original function as an educational institution while allowing exterior observations by visitors.
During World War I, the educational activities were suspended as the building served temporarily as a hospital before returning to its academic purpose.
