Real Colegio de Doncellas Nobles, Renaissance educational complex in Toledo, Spain.

The Real Colegio de Doncellas Nobles features granite columns throughout its two-story courtyard and displays both Renaissance and early Baroque architectural elements.

Cardinal Juan Martinez Siliceo established this institution in 1551 with King Felipe II's support to provide education for young women from diverse social backgrounds.

The college chapel contains a Latin cross plan with barrel vaults and an altarpiece depicting the Virgin and Child alongside educational symbols.

The building now functions as a university residence and offers guided tours through its cloisters, main halls, and architectural highlights.

A glass and iron passageway from the 19th century connects two separate buildings within the complex, representing an early example of industrial architecture.
