Founded in 1401 by Diego de Anaya y Maldonado, the original edifice was Salamanca's oldest university residence. The present neoclassical-style building (almost an exception in this city) was designed by Juan de Sagarvinaga in 1760. All of our classes were held in this building. At the top of the building, in the center, perched at the highest point, was a stork's nest. We used to sit in the plaza between classes and watch the large birds flying back and forth to find food for their young. Of course, we were also stuffing ourselves full of pastries and Toblerone candy bars from the bakery that was just around the corner!
