Colegio La Milagrosa in Córdoba and Bujalance

Colegio La Milagrosa is an educational institution with campuses in the historic heart of Córdoba city and in Bujalance. Its educational heritage, architecture and community life reflect more than a century of Vincentian values and faith-based education. The Córdoba campus provides concerted (state-subsidized) education for children aged 3 to 12, emphasizing responsibility, solidarity and teamwork (Colegio La Milagrosa Córdoba; Colegio La Milagrosa Bujalance; Micole).

The Bujalance campus is part of the Fundación Diocesana Santos Mártires de Córdoba, a diocesan network serving over 5,500 students. It serves children from infancy through special education and is closely connected to the town’s cultural life (micole.net Bujalance).

History

The Córdoba campus was founded in the early 20th century by the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul to provide education guided by Christian humanism and service to disadvantaged people. Located at Calle Conde de Gondomar, 4, it has adapted to educational reforms over the decades while maintaining a focus on inclusivity, solidarity and community outreach (Colegio La Milagrosa; Todofamilias).

The Bujalance campus is rooted in the same Catholic educational tradition. Its familial atmosphere and involvement in local traditions and religious festivities make it part of the town’s community life (Fundación Diocesana Santos Mártires de Córdoba; micole.net).

What to see

Córdoba campus architecture and facilities

The Córdoba campus has an early 20th-century façade featuring the high-relief sculpture “Dejad que los niños se acerquen a mí” (“Let the children come to me”), created by Cordoban artist Mateo Inurria Lainosa. The work reflects the school’s welcoming ethos and its connection to local artistic heritage (Flickr: Mateo Inurria Lainosa).

Inside are digital classrooms, a chapel, a library and rooms for psychomotor activities (Colegio La Milagrosa).

Traditions and community life

Each November, the Association of the Faithful of the Miraculous Virgin and the Daughters of Charity organize the procession of the Virgen de la Medalla Milagrosa. Students, alumni and families attend, with music from local bands and artistic works such as those by Rafaela Puntas. The chapel also holds Marian ceremonies, including the triduum and “besamanos” (Cofradías TV).

The school collaborates with local organizations, including the Hermandad de la Sangre, and hosts religious traditions and social events. Its Christmas nativity scene, created by local belenista Rafael Herrero Barasona, is a focus for community workshops and charity events supporting social programs, particularly music therapy for children with special needs (El Día de Córdoba).

Pastoral and social outreach also includes music therapy workshops and charitable initiatives. The school has strong family and alumni reviews, and many former students have become educators in Córdoba (Micole; El Día de Córdoba).
