It was closed in 1769 at the expulsion of the Jesuits. In 1783, the initiative of the Bishop Mateo Joaquin de Arevalo opened the Colegio-Seminario de San Carlos. The Second World War led to the interruption of the courses in 1941 because several buildings suffered various destruction. The Colegio de San Carlos was granted its university charter in 1948.
