In 1526 a college was founded in Granada by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V for the teaching of logic, philosophy, theology and canon law. On 14 July 1531, the establishment of a "studium generale" with the faculties of theology, arts and canon law was granted by a papal bull by Clement VII, marking the birth hour of the university. This explains its motto ""Universitas Granatensis 1531"" and his official seal, based in its founder coat of arms with representations of the imperial double-headed eagel and spanish kingdoms.
