<p>Every version of Settlers of Catan that I've played (all US Mayfair, editions 1-4) has had a "University" victory point card that is clearly the church of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Mar%C3%ADa_del_Naranco" rel="noreferrer">Santa María del Naranco</a> in Oviedo, Spain.

The veranda in the palace is very similar to the one in the University. As Santa Maria del Naranco doesn't actually have the veranda, I'm guessing that the real-life version of the palace might also not have the veranda, and might also be a stone building based on the construction.
