Salamanca

Few cities in Castile and León have a history as closely tied to university learning as Salamanca. Founded in 1218, the University of Salamanca is among Europe’s oldest and has shaped the city’s identity for centuries. The historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is built largely from warm golden sandstone; its landmarks include Plaza Mayor and the façades of the Old and New Cathedrals. The River Tormes runs along the southern edge of the centre, crossed by Salamanca’s long-standing Roman bridge.
