Diocesan School of Santo Domingo

Called the "Escorial de Levante". It was built between the early sixteenth until the mid-eighteenth century. Was once the former University of Orihuela and today is a nursery, a primary and a secondary school at the same time. On the south facade of the building there's a couple of Renaissance remnants. The Levante facade is small and modest and include a coat of arms on the beautiful windows. The project architect was Jerónimo Quijano (beautiful name, right?) in 1553 and important names such as John Inglés, Agustín Bernardino worked on it as well as Pedro Juan Raymundo Codoñer Francisco who worked on it during its final stages, in the mid-eighteenth century.
