Overview
Hello! I'm David Alba, certified guide and former student. I invite you to discover the University of Alcalá not as a set of stones, but as the vibrant Golden Age that was lived in this city.
Our route emulates the life of a student of the XVI century: from the pranks and the origin of words like "gorrón", to the maximum academic solemnity.
What will we experience?
We will walk through the Cisnerian Block (tickets included):
- Calle Libreros and Colegios Menores: The "highway" of information and the contrast between rich and poor students.
- Facade of the University: A stone book that we will decipher together.
- Chapel of San Ildefonso: The treasure of Cisneros and his marble tomb.
- Historic Courtyards: The heart of knowledge and the atmosphere of the Trilingual Courtyard.
- The Paraninfo: The grand finale under the Mudejar coffered ceiling where the Cervantes Prize is awarded.
We will end with a visual challenge and a final game. Ready to enroll in history?
