Fray Luis de León

This episode guides us through the life of Fray Luis de León through the intimate voice of a beadle from the University of Salamanca. Among ancient classrooms and silent cloisters, we discover his facets as a teacher, Augustinian friar, and free thinker. We relive his imprisonment by the Inquisition, his return to the professorship, and his famous 'decíamos ayer'. His ties to the city, his vanished convent, and the discovery of his remains in 1856 are also explored. A narrative that invites you to explore Salamanca through memory, history, and respect for knowledge.
