It is part of a project of renovation and sustainable rehabilitation of a historical building part of the UNESCO Worl Heritage Site of Alcal de Henares.
The building is located behind Plaza de San Diego and the Rectorate of the UAH (University of Alcal de Henares), and only 3 minutes walk from Plaza Cervantes, where buses leave for the external technological-scientific campus. Therefore, its location makes it ideal for all students of the UAH, AlcaLingua and Instituto Franklin.
Alcal, besides having been named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is one of Spains most prestigious university cities, so our student accommodation receives both national and international students and exchange programs such as Erasmus and SICUE.
