Things to do Alcalá Golden Age Tour

Hello! I'm David Alba, certified guide and former student. I invite you to discover the University of Alcalá not as a set of stones, but as the vibrant Golden Age that was lived in this city. Our route emulates the life of a student of the XVI century: from the pranks and the origin of words like "gorrón", to the maximum academic solemnity. What will we experience? We will walk through the Cisnerian Block (tickets included): - Calle Libreros and Colegios Menores: The "highway" of information and the contrast between rich and poor students. - Facade of the University: A stone book that we will decipher together. - Chapel of San Ildefonso: The treasure of Cisneros and his marble tomb. - Historic Courtyards: The heart of knowledge and the atmosphere of the Trilingual Courtyard. - The Paraninfo: The grand finale under the Mudejar coffered ceiling where the Cervantes Prize is awarded. We will end with a visual challenge and a final game. Ready to enroll in history?
