Central School in Bucharest, Historic educational monument in Bucharest, Romania.
The Central School is an educational monument in Bucharest featuring elaborate Romanian Revival architecture. The building displays decorative tilework above windows and classical corridors arranged around a central square garden.
Architect Ion Mincu completed the building in 1890, transforming the former Princely Girls' School into a Romanian Revival masterwork. This completion represented a turning point in the country's educational architecture.
The building displays traditional Romanian design elements through its polychrome ceramic ornaments and arched details that reflect national identity. Visitors can observe these crafted details across the exterior and roof work.
The building is located on Ion Mincu Street and continues to function as an educational institution, with the exterior available for observation. The best time to visit is during quieter periods or outside school hours to properly appreciate the architectural details.
During World War I, the building was temporarily used as a hospital while educational activities were suspended. After the war, it returned to its original purpose as a school.
