From the years after come the courtyard pillars, which Juan de Nates replaced in 1603, the top storey of the cloister, of 1744, and the façade openings, which Ventura Rodríguez designed in 1761 and his nephew Manuel Martín finished in 1768. It is the seat of the rector of the University of Valladolid and of two university museums, one of them of African art.
