Colegio de Calatrava, 16th-century educational institution in Salamanca, Spain
The Colegio de Calatrava exhibits a neoclassical facade with two sections separated by giant pilasters and topped with a balustrade at its crown.
Founded in 1552 by the Order of Calatrava under Charles V's mandate, the college integrated with the University of Salamanca in 1554.
The building displays Renaissance decorative elements throughout its structure, with particular attention to the ornamental details around the main entrance and side towers.
The structure currently serves as Casa de la Iglesia, housing the administrative offices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salamanca.
During construction in 1750, Jerónimo García de Quiñones modified the original baroque design to align with contemporary neoclassical preferences.
