MARIA ULRICH – A woman, a citizen of the world, a great pioneer for Education.

An original spirit (…) made up of exchange, simplicity and dynamics is alive in our educational process.
(Maria Ulrich, 1973)

Across the street is Basilica da Estrela, a vast neoclassical monument. Built in the second half of the 18th century to fulfill a vow by Queen Maria I after she gave birth to a son and heir, it has a huge rococo dome and a façade with twin bell towers decorated with an array of statues of saints and allegorical figures.
