Estudio Público de Humanidades
Information
In this 19th century building located in Calle de la Villa (the old Calle del Estudio de la Villa) is where this institution, created in 1346 by Alfonso XI, was situated. Around 1566, Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616) was enrolled there and studied under the humanist Juan López de Hoyos (1511-1583), a professor of grammar and a senior lecturer at this institution.
The house, dating from the 16th century, was demolished in 1870. The owner, the Countess de la Vega del Pozo, offered to install two headstones, one dedicated to the El Quixote’s author and the other to the Spanish humanists. The texts of the headstones were written by Mesonero Romanos.
