Osuna is a big city, of fifteen thousand souls, which the fertile flatness dominates. The best inn is in outskirts, as it goes over of Seville; the top of the triangular hill is crowned by a castle and by the Collegiate church; the streets are untidy and the buildings are whitewashed by Moron lime; the carnations that are put in flowerpots in the houses are haughty." (Richar Ford)

The life of the town was presided by the paternalistic influence of "the ducal house", someone of whose members, like Don Juan Téllez, father of the first duke of Osuna, her embellished with sumptuous buildings, like the "University" and the School, "the Collegiate church", for whose classrooms spent big figures of our letters.

The immense historical and cultural Osuna legacy has his needle reflex in a hereditary wealth of incalculable value.

The streets of our city, in the shade of beautiful towers and imposing fronts, invite to the contemplation and the astonishment.

In the hill that there dominates Osuna, the called hill of the Higuerón, don Juan Téllez decided to raise his School - university, along with Collegiate church that also the patrocinara and the Hospital of the Embodiment (then Monastery).
