=Expo=
Beautiful building in the centre of the city and home to the cavalry. There was an exhibition on while we visited and it was well worth the time. I learned a huge amount and the troops were very helpful and friendly - one going so far as to salute me on entry. Extremely informative.

Wonderful Architecture
The Military Cavalry Academy is located at Paseo de Zorrilla, 2. The Academia Militar de Caballeria was started in 1852 in the city, but burned down in 1915. The new building was started soon after that event and its model was the Palace of Monterrey of Salamanca, with a Renaissance design. The designer was Adolfo Pierrad. The building is extremely beautiful and impressive, and is across the street from the Plaza de Zorrila. The building used local stone for its façade. There are two towers that are topped with pyramidal shapes. The inside of the building contains plenty of art. There is a large painting called “La Carga de Trevino” by Victor Morelli.

Impressive Building
The facade of the Academia de Caballeria is very impressive and it is a very large building that is best seen from across the street. The building is quite close to downtown and one can easily walk to it.
