This photograph, probably taken about 1900, shows, in the foreground, the so-called "New Part" of the college of San Ambrosio. It was destroyed by fire in 1927, but earlier had been a barracks. The Scots College, which can be seen between the "New Part" and the church of San Esteban (now the Santuario Nacional), was originally due to be located here. The ornate baroque portal, saved from the fire, is now in the grounds of the Colegio de Santa Cruz in Valladolid. |
