Palacio de Lorenzana

It was designed by the Alicantean architect Ignacio Haan to house the University of Toledo (1485-1845) [es].

[2] Promoted by Cardinal Francisco de Lorenzana, the building was built in Neoclassical style.

On the main façade, in Ionic order, the two-story staircase and the two sculptures by Mariano de Salvatierra stand out, representing respectively Science and Fame.

The cardinal's coat of arms crowns the façade, supported by two female allegories by Antonio Vinacer.

In the interior, the Auditorium and the Library open to a porticoed atrium, with 28 columns of Ionic order on which rests an entablature of granite.
