These university buildings, whose construction began in 1571, are very remarkable. Here too there is a good information board that explains the most important facts. The buildings are not open to the public. Events sometimes take place in the courtyard. The stones for the construction came from a quarry that is now known as the Lion's Den. This is also a place worth seeing in the south of the town.
