About
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.
