Spain 19k - Royal College of Maidens

With five minutes to go until it closed, in the Royal College of Royal Maidens, we were only able to see the mausoleum of Cardinal Juan Martinez Siliceo. It was a girl's school built in 1551 and in 1990 it became a residence of the Toledo university.



He rested here in a wooden box covered by a black cloth until sculptor Ricardo Bellver y Ramon made the cardinal's current mausoleum in 1890.
