Old jesuits school, with a baroque facade product of the restoration which took place in the mid 18th century, after a fire which destroyed the rest of the convent.

The former Mariano Quintanilla High School is located to the north of the section of the Aqueduct that runs along Almira Street.

It is built on the factories of the so-called Colegio de San Diego for orphaned children, built in the mid-18th century and has been used for cultural education ever since.

Its construction follows the initial project of 1880 signed by Joaquín Odriozola and Antonio Bermejo, and its construction style responds to the characteristic eclecticism of Spanish architecture from the last third of the 19th century.

The building is organized around an interior patio with a trapezoidal plan surrounded by a gallery and covered by a glass vault. The main façade, which is characterized by its uniformity and balance, presents a symmetrical arrangement with respect to a central axis on which rises a tower that houses the machinery of a clock. A plinth runs along the entire façade and an impost line, formed by a small cornice, separates the two floors.
