D. José da Costa Nunes Kindergarten

About

D. José da Costa Nunes Kindergarten is located next to Guia Hill, aligned with Avenida Horta e Costa, on a notorious site where it was once located the Long Hou Mansion - the residence of Macau governors in the late 19th century. The current building was designed and reconstructed by Ar. Luíz Xavier Miranda in 1933, following a depurated Art Deco architectural language, with a symmetrical plan, high ceilings and abundant natural light. In 1940, the kindergarten was renamed to the current name and the building façade was altered into the current state since 1956. In 1997 was renovated and connected to the new wing with a project by Ar. Mário Duque.
