10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Salamanca That You Shouldn't Miss

January 5, 2022 Tambra Mccollister

Known as Spain’s "golden city," Salamanca is rich in architectural, religious and gastronomic culture. Marvel at the La Casa de las Conchas (house of shells) and the 18th century Plaza Mayor, then pore over the fresh produce of the Central Market. Both the Old and New Cathedrals of Salamanca are celebrations of Renaissance and Gothic styles.

Ieronimus

Reviewed By 6nickc - New York City, United States

This was easily the best thing I did in Salamanca. The trip up takes you around several scenic viewpoints of the cathedral and both the interior and exterior, culminating in great views at the top of the Bell tower. The stairs are quite steep for the final climb, be warned, it is unsuitable for those with low mobility and can only be traversed one direction at a time, leading to a traffic light system. I heard someone below me slip and fall once.

Old Cathedral (Catedral Vieja)

Reviewed By Duquesadiner - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Although we didn’t take the audio tour, there is enough to see by just strolling around the inside of this beautiful church. My advice is to spend a good while on the outside initially, the architecture is simply magnificent, you will spot some strange additions by a few stone masons over the years, the astronaut being a good example. There is a charge to enter but it is worth it. It is very cool inside, a welcome change in temperature on this visit, it was 35 degrees outside. If you look up once inside you might see people walking along what appears to be an inside track on the roof, they have actually come in through the Ieronimus, a separate but attached building. Actually I enjoyed that visit more than the cathedral, due to the great views over the city.

Escuelas Menores

Reviewed By R6256UZmanuels - Madrid, Spain

A glorious, delicate late Gothic Spanish College patio, a consitutuent part of the network of Medieval and Renaissance university colleges that make Salamanca unique among European cities, here the precursors of Human Rights (De Las Casas) or the inventor of International Law (Francisco de Vitoria), departed with colleagues and students.
