College of Our Lady of Antigua, Catholic educational complex in Monforte de Lemos, Spain.
The College of Our Lady of Antigua presents a Herreriano architectural style with two cloisters and a monumental staircase in its east wing.
Cardinal Rodrigo de Castro established this institution in 1593 as a seminary, which later transformed into a university with seven academic chairs.
The college museum displays paintings by El Greco, including a notable work depicting Francis of Assisi, along with five pieces by Andrea del Sarto.
The educational facility maintains its original purpose at P.P. Escolapios, Campo da Compañía 50, offering guided visits through advance reservations.
The east wing features a remarkable three-arch staircase constructed between 1594 and 1603, with steps carved from single granite pieces.
