As the American Historical Association states, history is “the laboratory of human experience” and provides us not only “relevant skills and an enhanced capacity for informed citizenship, critical thinking, and simple awareness”, but also identity. This talk deepens on the historical model for the Real Colegio Complutense at Harvard, the Royal Spanish College or Domus Hispanica founded in 1364 at the University of Bologna (Italy) by Cardinal Gil de Albornoz. We will reflect on this Hispanic university heritage from a cultural point of view to explore the keys of its 650 years of existence.
