Description
This Online Experience will start from the Town Hall, located in one of the most beautiful squares of Europe: the Plaza Mayor. After spending some time here and learning about the square's history, we will visit the Palace of Monterrey, a fine example of the Plateresque style architecture, and then make our way to the nearby Church La Purisima.
I will also take you through the street La Compania at one end of which sits the private university La Pont Ficia or the Pontifical University of Salamanca; the baroque-style Clerecia church; and the Shell House, which is a Spanish landmark. In the university zone, we will admire the extraordinary facade of the main historical building called the Escuelas Mayores and walk in and around the two patios, Patio de Escuela Menores and Patio de Escuela Mayors.
Next, we will head to the Old Cathedral and admire its beautiful facade. We will also make our way to Anaya Square, home to the New Cathedral, where we will conclude this tour.

I am from the Netherlands but I have lived in Salamanca, a city I fell in love with since 1992. I have studied tourism but history and architecture are my favourite hobbies. I have worked as a tour guide for 9 years and can give tours in English, German, Spanish and of course Dutch.
Salamanca is a city where you delve in a variety of subjects like architecture, history and since Salamanca has the oldest University of Spain, you can also see the student culture here.
Bienvenido a Salamanca!
