Abstract

Once the Spanish Civil War ended in 1939, a necessary reconstruction of the affected heritage was undertaken, in addition to launching new projects, directed mainly by the State and which will be marked by a specific way of doing things. Regarding school architecture, a national organization is maintained, taking into account the dignity of the buildings and the understanding of education as a basic pillar in society. That is why prestigious architects were employed and efforts were made to ensure that the buildings had a good level of professionalism. Extremadura, as it could not be less, will contribute to all this by adding examples of great solvency and in some cases with quite uniqueness and outstanding quality, whose enhancement is really necessary.
