Capilla Dorada School

We dispose of 9 modern classrooms, a library, computer and Internet facilities, a meeting room and a wide and quiet courtyard where it is possible to sunbathe, or if the weather allows, to have open-air classes, talks or conferences. The school is situated in the middle of  the historical centre, sharing location with the monumental and commercial area, in a  pedestrian  and university  street, far away from urban noises.

In our school you are able to feel History.  Exactly in the same place where the school is nowadays, there was the chapel’s duplicate of the “Capilla Dorada” (“the Golden Chapel”) of the New Cathedral, which is supposedly the most beautiful chapel of the Cathedral. This is still written  in our coat of arms and lintels dating from 1425.
