Universidad de Oviedo

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:42:16

This elegant 17th-century building, set around two superposed cloisters, was originally home to the University of Oviedo's schools of Arts, Theology and Law. Nowadays it's an administrative house, but well worth a wander. In the centre sits the majestic statue of Fernando de Valdés Salas, the university's founder, while the cloister's columns still bear bullet holes from the civil war.
