The construction of La Clerecía began in the seventeenth century by order of Queen Margarita of Austria, wife of Philip III of Spain, as a church and college of the ecclesiastic order of the Company of Jesus. It was originally known as the Royal College of the Company of Jesus and was home to a public section - church and school rooms where the Jesuits taught -, and a private section, where the monks lived. As a bonus the Scala Coeli (the name given to the church towers) are open for visitors to inside them and admire the stunning views from high above the city. (Salamanca, Spain)
