Overview

Welcome to the University of Alcala! “Access Included in the University”

Touring the University of Alcalá with someone who has studied in their classrooms is a totally different experience. On this tour I invite you to discover the dream of Cardinal Cisneros. Decipher the secrets of the Swan Apple, where geniuses like Lope de Vega or Quevedo studied.

The route is presented as the very life of a 16th century student. I'll start by admiring greatness from the outside and then sneak into the guts of knowledge.

What'll you visit?

· Convent of “Malaga” (Faculty of Philosophy and Letters)
· El Parador and the Student Hostel
· St. Peter and Paul Street
· Calle Libreros
· Facade of the University of Alcalá
· The Chapel of San Ildefonso
· Patio de Santo Tomas de Villanueva
· Courtyard of Philosophers and Trilingual
· The Paraninfo

And a final secret! Like on my other tour, I have a game prepared at the end, to see what happens to the winner ;)
