Situated in Ajuda, one of Lisbon's historic and elevated areas, this room benefits from a setting that combines residential calm with the presence of significant cultural legacies. Its location contributes to a serene environment, conducive to reflection and study.
Located in an area that preserves a characteristic touch of antiquity, the room's surroundings, although urban, maintain a distinct atmosphere that harks back to past centuries, complementing its own history and significance.
The Sala dos Serenins, formerly known as the Antiga Sala da Física (Old Physics Room), stands as a valuable testament to an era when the pursuit of scientific knowledge held a central place. This space was conceived and actively used for the teaching and demonstration of fundamental physics principles.
Here, generations of students and masters explored natural phenomena through practical experimentation, with the aid of instruments and apparatus of the time. Its primary function was that of an advanced laboratory and classroom, where critical thinking, rigorous observation, and an understanding of the physical world were cultivated.
The room's architecture reflects its original function, with a design that prioritized natural light entry and an appropriate layout for didactic and experimental activities. Its structural and decorative elements, though of functional sobriety, reveal the dignity and importance attributed to education and science during the period of its construction.
Currently, the name "Sala dos Serenins" evokes an atmosphere of quietude and contemplation. This space invites visitors to imagine the buzz of past lessons and experiments, while offering a moment of pause to appreciate the persistence of knowledge and the intrinsic beauty of its history.
