Universidad de Osuna

Fundada en el s.XVI por don Juan Téllez Girón, IV Conde de Ureña y padre del primer Duque de Osuna. Resistió la universidad de Osuna hasta la irrupción de las tropas francesas en 1810, en que el edificio fue ocupado y convertido en cuarte galo. Continuó tras la guerra muy precariamente hasta 1824 siendo definitivamente clausurada. 

En cuanto a su estructura arquitectónica se observa que es un edificio de planta rectangular organizado en torno a un patio de planta cuadrada. Su esquema se caracteriza por la sencillez y severidad de sus lineas rectas, al que su singular perfil, flanqueado por cuatro torres en los ángulos, rematadas por chapiteles recubiertos de cerámica vidriada, lo hacen uno de los edificios más emblemáticos de la ciudad. Sólo conserva su estructura original el costado suroriental del inmueble, donde se ubican la entrada principal, inmediata a la puerta de acceso, la capilla, la sala de Grados, el patio central, la escalera que comunica con la planta superior y la antigua biblioteca, ahora Paraninfo. 

A su interior se accede, desde la portada principal, a un recinto o vestíbulo de planta rectangular cubierto con alfarje de dos órdenes de vigas sobre ménsulas, decorado con labores de taracea. Esta estancia comunica por su costado derecho con la capilla, al frente con el patio central y a la izquierda con la sala de la Girona. En la actualidad es Escuela Universitaria adscrita a la Universidad de Sevilla.
