Discover the rich history of Complutense, a name deeply rooted in Spanish culture and intellectual heritage. Santiago Ramon y Cajal's cortical grey matter schema illuminates the complexities of the human brain, while the Complutensian Polyglot Bible, a masterpiece from the 16th century, showcases the scholarly prowess of Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros. This bible, a collaboration between Cisneros and renowned scholars of the time, is a testament to the intellectual curiosity and dedication to learning that thrived in Complutense. The imposition of the doctoral mortarboard, an original copy from the 17th century, symbolizes the academic achievements of generations of scholars, including the portrait of Amadeo, a proud graduate. The legacy continues to inspire and educate, a beacon of knowledge and intellectual pursuits.
