3. Aula de Antonio Machado

   INCLUDED in your guided tour is access to the classroom where Antonio Machado taught, from his arrival in 1912, until 1919, still preserved in the columned courtyard. In this high Andalusia, which seemed so “wet and cold” at first, he deepened his philosophical roots and wrote an important part of his work. The classroom is preserved as Don Antonio lived it: the same hydraulic floor, the maps of the time hung on the walls, the desks of the students, showcases with photocopies of documents, the same worn blackboard and the teacher’s chair; a closet with antique books and a coat rack with an umbrella along with a suitcase on a shelf, recreate the atmosphere of the second decade of the twentieth century.

5. Antiga Universidade de Baeza

   Baeza is a university town. It was from the 16th to the 19th century and is now with the Antonio Machado headquarters of the International University of Andalusia. The original center was created in 1538 by a bull of Pope Paul III. Its original location was where the Baeza Museum is currently located. At the time there were only a dozen universities in Spain. Gradually, the center gained prestige and even became popularly known to Baeza as the “Andalusian Salamanca”, as the Castilian city was the home of the most prestigious university of the time. This second headquarters was erected in the same place where the hermitage of San León was located, to solve the problems of space that existed in the first location.
