Torre de Santiago ou do Colégio
The Santiago Tower marks one of the medieval watch-box and one of the city entrances. It still maintains its medieval air, which contrasts with the rocaille decoration that covers the North front. The chapel’s construction was ordered to thank the Virgin the fact that the college suffered no damages during the earthquake in 1755.
