Salamanca Spain - Beautiful Historical city & UNESCO World Heritage Site - 2024

Salamanca is a municipality and city in Spain. It is located in the autonomous community of Castile and León.

Salamanca is known for its large number of remarkable Plateresque-style buildings.

The origins of the city date back to about 2700 years ago, during the first Iron Age, when the first settlers of the city settled on the San Vicente hill, on the banks of the Tormes.

Salamanca is home to the oldest active university in Spain, the University of Salamanca, founded in 1218 by Alfonso IX of León.

In 1988, the Old City of Salamanca was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It has an important historical-architectural heritage, among which stand out its two cathedrals - the Old cathedral and the New cathedral, the Casa de las Conchas, the Plaza Mayor, the Convento de San Esteban and the Escuelas Mayores.

The old town is something that should not be missed. It is worth half a day of your time exploring the old buildings and learning about the history of the area. The Roman bridge near the old town should also be visited.
