Universidad Complutense de Madrid

General information

City	City: Madrid
Country	Spain
About the University	The current Complutense University of Madrid was founded by Cardinal Cisneros as a result of the "Inter cetera" Papal Bull granted by Pope Alexander VI on 13 April 1499. This Papal Bull provided the Cardinal with the power to found and construct a College of Scholars located in Alcal' de Henares. The three documents that come from the pontifical chancery date back to the same date. The "Inter cetera" document belongs to the category of papal bull, so it is not a bull or "littera solemne", but a "littera graciosa" or grant letter. It is a piece of parchment with semi-gothic lettering that is conserved in the National Historical Archive. Cisneros ordered the construction of the San Ildefonso College one month before being granted the Papal Bull, laying the first stone in March 1499. The idea was to create the Complutense College to give classes in Theology, Canon Law and Liberal Arts. The papal bull granted authorisation for this College of students where they take classes in the Faculties of Theology, Canon Law and Arts.
