This school, although not being used anymore, is still in good conditions. Actually, looking at the facade, one could easily believe the school is still active. Which is not.
As it happened in so many places in the country, the demographic pressure towards the big cities left endless villages in the countryside with an aged population. The schools built in the middle of the 20th century to serve the remote communities became useless. No kids to be taught.
