What to do and see in Salamanca, Castile and Leon: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

June 21, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

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.

Cielo de Salamanca

Reviewed By 958LauraH - El Dorado Hills, United States

This fresco was discovered hidden behind a wall. It is very whimsical and beautiful. The subjects in it appear to be part of the zodiac. It’s in a very dark room. Free admission. No photos allowed. Difficult to find.

Reviewed By CaitoLM - Belem, Brazil

It's very fun to look for the frog at Salamanca University. It's fun to see the crowds of people participating in a legend that has been practiced for hundreds of years every day.
