About This Museum

Perched in the highlands of Baguia, these ruins whisper tales of a bygone era. You'll find the crumbling stone walls of what was once the Escola do Reino de Haudère, a school from the Portuguese colonial period. It’s a quiet, contemplative spot where history feels almost tangible. The site offers a poignant look at Timor-Leste's complex past, set against a stunning mountain backdrop.

Collection Highlights

The main attraction is the site itself—the weathered stone foundations and archways open to the sky. Scattered informational plaques help piece together the story of education and administration during the colonial kingdom.

Visitor Information

Located off the main road in Baguia; look for the coordinates 9MH4+QW9. It's an open-air site, so visiting during daylight hours is best. There's no formal entrance fee, but it's wise to check locally for access as it's a ruin.

Architecture & Building

The remains showcase classic Portuguese colonial masonry, with thick, load-bearing stone walls and simple, functional design suited for a public building of its time.
