“The founding of this school goes way back,” the guide chuckled, gesturing towards the Escola Superior de Educação de Lisboa. “We’re talking kings and queens kind of back!” The Escola Superior de Educação de Lisboa, he explained, while physically impressive, wasn’t always housed in this grand edifice. Its roots intertwine with two institutions: the Escola do Magistério Primário de Lisboa and the Instituto António Aurélio da Costa Ferreira. The former traces its lineage to 1862 and the reign of King Luís, when the Escola Normal Primária de Lisboa was established. Initially, separate schools for boys and girls existed, later merging in 1914. Imagine that, separate schools based on gender in the heart of Lisbon! Finally, in 1919, they moved to the very building we stand before—a magnificent structure whose first stone was laid in 1916. The ceremony was graced by no less than President Bernardino Machado himself! Over the decades, the institution saw numerous transformations, reflecting the changing political and pedagogical landscape of Portugal. But throughout it all, this building remained a steadfast beacon of education, eventually becoming the home of the Escola Superior de Educação de Lisboa as we know it today.
