About Salamanca

Salamanca is a golden sandstone city in western Spain, home to one of Europe's oldest universities and a famously beautiful main square.

Salamanca stands on the River Tormes on the high plateau of western Castile and León and is built in a warm golden sandstone that glows at sunset. Its university, founded in 1218, is the oldest in Spain and among the oldest in Europe, and the old city, listed by UNESCO, is full of students. The Plaza Mayor, a Baroque square of arcades and medallion portraits, was built in the 18th century and is the city's living room.
