College of Málaga

The college, at the express wish of the bishop, was called "Colegio de San Ciriaco y Santa Paula", after the patron saints of Malaga.

In 1847 it was restored to be used as an archive, and in 1858, the Madrid City Council remodelled the building to house the second San Bernardino Asylum, for underprivileged girls and old ladies.

[5] In 1949, it was transformed into the boarding school "Nuestra Señora de la Paloma", a charitable institution of the Madrid City Council, where children of adolescent age lived.

[8][9][10] Of all the minor secular colleges in Alcalá de Henares, it is the most grandiose, and a model of Baroque architecture in Madrid.

Heraldic coats of arms of Bishop Juan Alonso de Moscoso profusely decorate the façade, towers, and courtyards.
