Escuelas Menores, 16th-century Renaissance educational building in Salamanca, Spain
The Escuelas Menores features two round arches supported by Corinthian columns, displaying medallions and imperial coats of arms on its façade.
Built in 1428 and reconstructed in 1533, this structure served as classrooms for younger students at the University of Salamanca, one of Europe's oldest institutions.
The building contains the Cielo de Salamanca, a remarkable 15th-century astronomical mural painting created by Fernando Gallego depicting celestial elements.
Located at Calle Patio Escuelas 1, the building welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
The courtyard exhibits mixtilinear arches similar to Casa de las Conchas, enhanced with a baroque balustrade and Gothic architectural elements.
