Salamanca Audioguided Walking Tour 1h20 and 21 reviews

Four large Ionic columns, a triangular pediment and a large stoop, is this a temple you face? Well, no, appearances are really misleading.

Although glued together, the two religious buildings can easily differentiate.

From a cultural and religious point of view, the visit to Salamanca cannot be made without a stop at the Convent of Las Dueñas.

At the gates of the Convent of San Estebán, it is instantly apparent that this is one of the most successful buildings in Salamanca. A grand church, an opulent facade, a two-storey cloister, definitely nothing is missing.

The small shock trio of any tourist stay to which we are obliged to add, here, legends.

But there is usually a gap between wish and power.

is not measured only by its number of monuments.

On the one hand, for its powerful historical value and, on the other, for its indisputable cultural and artistic assets.

In teaching, it is impossible to grill the steps. The rule is the same for everyone: each level of the school system must be honored and then move on to the next.

From one monument to another, any visitor can very quickly realize that the history of Salamanca is not the kind to be summarized in two lines.

It was designed in the 16th century under the will of the 3rd Count of Monterrey.

Perhaps because it perfectly mixes history and popular legend.

Excuse our language in advance, but entering Plaza Mayor takes guts. Not only is it the most emblematic place in Salamanca, it is also one of the most beautiful squares in Spain.

And yes, you have to get used to it, here, beautiful finds are everywhere.

Beautiful gates and a finely crafted façade, this is how the Palacio de la Salina imposes its place in the list of wonders of Salamanca.

By looking to the left, the Torre del Clavero perfectly illustrates the kind of surprises that are not always expected.

Just after university, Salamanca’s other star is the Casa de las Conchas. Not for its age, still estimated at 500 years, but rather for its atypical aesthetic singularity.

Salamanca includes the Clerecía in its collection of valuable religious sites.

While almost all of them are accessible to motorists, there is one that does not follow suit.

Salamanca could not do without its older replica.

This modest 18th-century building is the subject of much attention in Salamanca for having been the residence of Miguel de Unamuno.
