Según datos de wikipedia, la arquitectura es Renacentista.

"Fue levantado a instancias del patriarca San Juan de Ribera. Su construcción se comenzó en 1586 terminándose en 1615. Intervinieron maestros canteros como Gaspar Gregori, Guillem del Rey, Bartolomé Abril, Francesc Figuerola, entre otros.

Tiene su precedente en el Colegio del Patriarca actual Colegio de Santo Domingo en Orihuela, que fue fundado por el patriarca de Antioquía y arzobispo de Valencia, el cardenal Fernando de Loazes, oriolano de nacimiento, edificio que llegó a ser Universidad.

Se trata de un compacto edificio que ocupa una manzana completa. Se ordena a través de un claustro rectangular alrededor del cual se distribuyen las dependencias colegiales y en el lado oeste se encuentra la iglesia. El claustro es uno de los mejores ejemplos de arquitectura renacentista realizado con columnas de mármol genovés. La iglesia es de planta de cruz latina con una sola nave con capillas laterales y cabecera recta, con cúpula en el crucero. Está dividida en dos tramos presentando un tercero a los pies sobre el que se dispone el coro alto. El interior esta totalmente decorado por pinturas al fresco. La capilla es de planta rectangular con cabecera poligonal decorada al fresco por Bartolomé Matarana."

According to Wikipedia data, the architecture is Renaissance.

"It was built at the request of the patriarch San Juan de Ribera. Its construction began in 1586 and was completed in 1615. Master stonemasons such as Gaspar Gregori, Guillem del Rey, Bartolomé Abril, Francesc Figuerola, among others, participated.

It has its precedent in the current Colegio del Patriarca Colegio de Santo Domingo in Orihuela, which was founded by the patriarch of Antioquia and archbishop of Valencia, Cardinal Fernando de Loazes, an Oriolano by birth, a building that became a University.

It is a compact building that occupies an entire block. It is arranged through a rectangular cloister around which the collegiate rooms are distributed and on the west side is the church. The cloister is one of the best examples of Renaissance architecture made with Genoese marble columns. The church has a Latin cross plan with a single nave with side chapels and a straight apse, with a dome in the transept. It is divided into two sections, presenting a third at the foot on which the upper choir is arranged. The interior is completely decorated by fresco paintings. The chapel has a rectangular plan with a polygonal head decorated in fresco by Bartolomé Matarana."
