Colegio San Ignacio, Oviedo, dates from 1917. It began on Fifth Roel in Oviedo where it remained until the expulsion of the Jesuits during the Second Republic. In 1958 the Preparatory School opened on Cervantes Street in Oviedo. In 1973, it moved to the outskirts of Oviedo.[1][2][better source needed]
