Colegio de Málaga, Historic educational building in Alcalá de Henares, Spain.
The Colegio de Málaga features two prominent towers, multiple courtyards, and a Baroque fountain designed by Miguel de Arteaga in 1769.
Founded in 1611 by Bishop Juan Alonso de Moscoso, the construction of this educational institution began in 1623 and continued through the end of the century.
The college required students to wear specific attire consisting of a black biretta, a brick-colored mantle, and a purple cape to indicate their academic status.
The building currently houses the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Alcalá, maintaining its educational purpose through centuries.
Three smaller colleges from Lugo, León, and Aragón merged into the Colegio de Málaga in 1781, leading to new constitutions and the name Colegio Teólogo de Málaga.
