Inside Santa Cruz la Real
At the heart of this experience is Santa Cruz la Real, a stunning 13th-century convent that now houses one of the most innovative university environments in Europe. While the exterior reflects centuries of history, the inside tells a different story—one of progress, creativity and cutting-edge design.
Students here work in modern classrooms, media studios and collaborative learning spaces that are equipped for tomorrow’s challenges. Whether you're printing prototypes in the Fab Lab, brainstorming in sunlit common areas or filming a project in one of our production studios, this IE University installation offers the best of both tradition and transformation.
