Discover the magic of the Golden City with our Free Tour: Salamanca Monumental—The Must-See Tour. We’ll start at the lively Plaza del Corrillo, just a stone’s throw from the Plaza Mayor—the impressive “living room” of Salamanca’s residents, considered by many to be the most beautiful square in Spain and the heart of the city’s social life.
Next, we’ll stroll through the splendor of the Castilian nobility, admiring the Palacio de Monterrey and the elegance of the Church of La Purísima, where art and history blend in the palace district. We’ll stop at the Casa de las Conchas and the Clerecía, the city’s most legendary façade, decorated with hundreds of shells that hold centuries-old secrets and legends.
We’ll explore the temple of learning in front of the University’s façade and the Escuelas Menores. We’ll search for the famous frog in this masterpiece of Plateresque architecture and discover the fascinating “Sky of Salamanca.” We’ll conclude our tour in front of the majestic Two Cathedrals (the New and the Old), a unique architectural complex that dominates the city’s skyline.
