Entrance to the Patio de las Escuelas
Sightseeing in Spain picture - This little Plateresque façade (1533) is similar to its more famous University counterpart. Through this passage, you find yourself in an attractive single-story Baroque patio with angled archways and balustrades, designed by J. García de Quiñones. The rooms off the patio include the University Museum which houses the "Salamanca Heaven", a section of the University Library ceiling containing a fresco painted by Fernando Gallego.
