Colegio Mayor Universitario San Pablo, Student residence hall near Moncloa district, Madrid, Spain.
Colegio Mayor Universitario San Pablo is a student residence in Madrid's Moncloa area offering single rooms, shared common areas, a dining hall, and study spaces. The complex accommodates around 400 residents and combines living areas with academic facilities.
The residence was established after World War II as part of Spain's renewal of university life and opened in 1951. Its architecture reflects the Spanish neo-Herrerian style characteristic of postwar construction.
The name San Pablo reflects the residence's religious foundation, and students shape community life through shared meals in the dining hall and regular gatherings. These traditions have defined student experience here for decades.
The residence sits near bus stops and metro stations, making it easy to reach the university campus and city center. Keep in mind this is a private residential area where access is typically limited to residents and their guests.
The complex was designed by renowned architect Luis Díez del Corral with careful attention to details that balance residential comfort with academic function. The building orientation and window placement follow principles of natural light and ventilation that were innovative for the time.
