Our Segovia campus, the Convent of Santa Cruz la Real, has a rich history. Built in 1218 as a monastery, it’s also been a prison, an orphanage and a hospice. Today, it offers all the high-tech facilities of a modern university, while retaining its historic features—reflecting one of IE University’s core values; sustainability. The ancient city of Segovia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, is famous for its Roman aqueduct and fairytale castle. Yet it’s only a 25-minute, high-speed train ride from the bustling center of Madrid. We talk to faculty members and the architect in charge of remodeling the campus, to find out how the campus has changed over the years and what makes it so special. Discover what it’s like to live and study in this unique space, which draws from the past to shape the leaders of the future.
