The Complutense University traces its origin to the 13th century
(1293), as the "Studium Generale" that King Sancho IV
of Castilla founded in a little town on the bank of the river Henares
called Complutum by the Romans and Al-kala-en-el-Uhar (nowadays
Alcala de Henares) by the Arabs. In the 15th century, Pope Kalixt
III established three professorships for Latin Grammar. One of their
former students, Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, Archbishop
of Toledo and Cardinal, promoted their growth into a full university.
Following his request, Pope Alexander VI executed in 1499 the foundation
papal bulls (permission) of the new University giving it the Roman
name of its place of origin "Universitas Complutensis".
|
| In
1836 it was transferred to Madrid, which, in the meantime, had become
the capital of Spain. Finally, the new law of 1970 on the Statutes
of Universities gave it the definitive name of "Universidad
Complutense de Madrid", in this way rewarding the initiative
of its founder Cardinal Cisneros, being integrated by the campus
of Moncloa and that of Somosaguas, opened up in 1969, as first extension
of the Universidad Complutense. Five years later, and due to the
great demand, the Universidad Complutense de Madrid expands again
creating a new Campus in Alcalá de Henares that, in 1977
gave place to a new university.
