The college is also known as Estudio Vello. It was founded by the archbishop Fonseca in 1501 in order to accommodate poor students. It is located in Plaza del Obradorio. The main façade is in Romanesque- Gothic style. In the centre of the archivolt appears the virgen with Baby Jesús surrounded by Saints, in the tympanum the Inmaculate is represented.
Over the door, we can find the coat of arms of its founder. The college of San Jerónimo was occuping the Hospital Viejo or de Azabachería´ s lands until 1651 and housed the Facultad Menor de Artes (Minor Faculty of Arts).
Nowadays, it is the headquarters of the Deanship of the University of Santiago de Compostela.
