The building is located at the top of the Sant’Ana hill, with a privileged view over the centre of Lisbon and the São Jorge Castle. After its inauguration in 1906, on the occasion of the XV International Medical Congress, the first students moved in around 1911. In 1977, the Faculty of Medical Sciences of NOVA University Lisbon was founded. The building was designed by José Joaquim de Paiva Cabral Couceiro and the architect José Maria Nepomuceno, following the guidelines of a committee of masters composed of Arantes Pedroso, Bettencourt Pita, Curry Cabral and Miguel Bombarda. The building has an imposing Renaissance style with a magnificent façade, and we can admire the Sala dos Passos Perdidos, with its tiled panels inspired by Jorge Colaço, and the Sala dos Atos, with friezes by Veloso Salgado depicting the history of medicine.
