Palacio de Anaya, Neoclassical palace and university building in Salamanca, Spain

The Palacio de Anaya features four Ionic columns at its entrance, leading to a triangular pediment crowned by the Anaya family coat of arms.

Construction began in 1760 to replace the San Bartolome College building, which suffered extensive damage during the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.

The interior walls display numerous vitores, traditional inscriptions made with bull blood or red pigments celebrating doctoral graduates of Salamanca University.

The palace houses the Faculty of Philology and visitors can access the courtyard for free on weekdays during academic term times.

The imperial staircase inside the palace contains a bronze bust of Miguel de Unamuno, created by sculptor Victorio Macho in 1930.
