Colegio de San Gregorio, Gothic museum building in Valladolid, Spain

The Colegio de San Gregorio exhibits a dense network of ornamental designs across its late 15th-century facade, featuring intricate stone carvings and sculptural details.

Established in 1488 by Dominican Friar Alonso de Burgos, the institution served as a theological college before transforming into the National Museum of Sculpture.

The museum displays an extensive collection of religious art spanning from medieval times through the 20th century, emphasizing Spanish visual arts between 1400-1700.

The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Saturday between 10:00 and 14:00, then 16:00 to 19:30, while Sundays open only morning hours.

The entrance portal includes unusual figures of hairy men, potentially representing early European interpretations of indigenous peoples from the Americas.
