kindergarten in atalaia santuário de nossa sra. da atalaia, montijo, portugal The
kindergarten in atalaia is associated to one of the most emblematic
monuments of Montijo, the 16th century Our Lady of Atalaia
church/sanctuary. With very unique surroundings, this building aims to
breathe simplicity of forms so that the church maintains its prominent
role. The main façade comprises a single rectangular design where
only the main entrance stands out, a door of stone masonry of
historical value. The building was kept detached from the church’s
south façade, creating in this way a separated area marked by the
presence of the bell tower and delimited between the architectural
purity of the Church’s façade and the proposed construction of a sober
façade, balanced with vertical openings. This is an example of
architecture that is truly harmonious but which cannot be described in
words.
