Discover Salamanca with an official guide on a tour designed to show you the most important sights in the historic quarter and help you understand the city from its origins to its current cultural importance. Starting at the iconic Plaza del Poeta Iglesias, next to the statue of Churriguera, you'll begin a walk through the heart of Salamanca with explanations about its urban development and its great historical figures.
For about an hour and a half, you'll stroll through some of the city's most iconic spots. You'll pass through the incomparable Plaza Mayor, a social and architectural epicentre, continue to the unique Casa de las Conchas with its façade full of symbols and coats of arms, and marvel at the imposing building of La Clerecía, a Baroque emblem that today houses the Pontifical University.
The route continues with an immersion in the history of the University of Salamanca, one of the oldest in Europe, where its facades, courtyards, and the university tradition that has marked the life of the city for centuries are explained.
The tour also includes a look at the two cathedrals—the Old and the New—jewels of the Gothic and Renaissance styles that dominate the urban profile and have centuries of history within their walls.
The visit ends at the iconic New Cathedral, allowing you to continue exploring on your own or enjoy the magnificence of its historical surroundings after a global view of Salamanca.
