Salamanca

Our city is Salamanca, and

near the border with

Portugal. It has a lot of

monuments from different

centuries that show the

different kinds of people

who contributed to build

Salamanca as it is today.

It is an attractive tourist destination.

Salamanca, together with other

twelve cities in Spain, was declared

Humankind Heritage.

Salamanca was founded like most of the

cities, near a river and a hill. It was the

usual behaviour for fist settlements. The

settlers looked for a river to get the

necessary water and a hill to build

houses to be able to defend themselves

from every attacks. The river was in itself

a natural “wall”.

It is also very important for its university, one

of the oldest in Spain and Europe. The life of

the city has always been conditioned to

the presence of students.

Its façade is the most visited and

photographied. It is a tradition to look

for the frog on the skull.
