Chapel of Saint Jerome

The Chapel of Saint Jerome, or University Chapel, was built between 1761 and 1767 by the architect Simón Gabilán Tomé. This chapel was built on the site of the famous "Sky of Salamanca", the work of Fernando Gallego in the 1480s, which was rediscovered around 1952, when a major restoration of the university buildings was carried out for the celebrations of the VII Centenary of the University (1953-54). This mural was moved to the Escuelas Menores building.
