74. Machado´s Lecture Hall (Aula Machado)

Inside Mariano Quintanilla Secondary School. When the poet Antonio Machado arrived in Segovia, he taught his lessons from the then called Instituto General  y Téncico (see no 32). One of the classrooms still looks as it used to, and is named after the poet. The old wooden benches in various heights traditionally built in the 19th century, from which every student could follow the teacher’s lessons can still be seen there together with the wooden platform on which the teacher would always stand. Currently the building shares two different uses, as it houses Mariano Quintanilla Secondary School and the Official School of Languages.
