San Clemente CollegeThe San Clemente College, located at the Rodríguez Cadarso Square (Campus Sur) was built in 1942 as the second building of Jenaro de la Fuente's project. Since its construction, the college continues a tradition, named " la clementina", that goes back to the 16th century, when the archbishop Juan de San Clemente set up the college, settled on what is now the site of the "Rosalía de Castro" Institute. 
Originally, it provided house only for male students but then it became a mixed college. Today, the San Clemente College combines an ancient tradition with modern facilities. Its location in the heart of Campus Sur makes it a privileged place as it is well connected with the rest of the city by urban buses. Facilities:
