[1] Instituted as an imperial college in 1552 by Charles V and incorporated into the University of Salamanca in 1554,[2] the construction of this building did not begin until 1717, by Joaquín de Churriguera who directed the works until his death in 1724.

[1] He was forced to eliminate the baroque ornaments of the original project due to the neoclassicist ideas prevailing at that time, especially those that Francisco Ibáñez de Corbera, rector of the school when it was consecrated in 1790, wanted to impose.

[3] We notice in the decoration baroque mixtilinear elements around the main doorway, in the doors of the side towers and in the moldings that surround all the windows of the facade.

[3] Today it is the seat of the Casa de la Iglesia, an institution that houses the offices of the Diocese of Salamanca.
