Sisters of Christian doctrine school

First school building to reopen its doors in the historic center of L'Aquila after the tragic earthquake of 2009

The religious institute is characterized by the use of the best technologies, while keeping alive the memory of the original structure.


The structure is formed by two wings with, in the center, an element called "telescope" which constitutes the entrance and distribution area. This space is characterized by a large window facing the historic city walls, through which it is possible to enjoy a suggestive landscape view on the hillside in front and on the Porta Leone, a famous medieval monument characterized by a tower of over twelve meters.

The large full-height windows, designed to amplify the spaces but above all to offer ample natural light in every room, are in fact a characteristic element of the building.
