Moise Nicoară National College, Historic gymnasium in Arad, Romania.
Moise Nicoară National College is an educational institution in Arad with buildings from the Austro-Hungarian period. It contains multiple classrooms, laboratories, and underwent complete restoration in 2013.
The school was founded in 1872 and was the first Romanian-language boys' school in Arad. After 1919, it grew in importance when Transylvania joined Romania.
The building reflects the transition from Austro-Hungarian rule to Romanian independence in its structure and location within the city. Its presence shaped how education developed in this region after the early 1900s.
The building is located centrally in Arad and is easy to find. Since it remains an active school, visits work best outside regular school hours.
The college produced several notable figures, including mathematician Caius Iacob and poet Ștefan Augustin Doinaș. These graduates shaped Romanian science and literature considerably.
