The University was inaugurated in 1812 and was offered to the Pope Leo XIII, who bestowed upon it the Pontifical title. Later, in 1904 Pio X made it a Catholic University.
It was originally designed by Martorell as an Eclectic and Gothic-Mudejar building, later in 1889. |

This is the main entrance to the University, which once was enlarged to enable vehicular passage. It is a combination of brickwork, ceramic tiles and the carved stone of its shield.
The doors, which nowadays are missing once, were decorated with Passionflowers, symbolizing Jesus Christ. |
