Salamanca Private Tour

We will commence our private tour of Salamanca at the designated time in the Plaza Mayor, a vibrant square that serves as the heart of this extraordinary city, recognized for its historic center, a designated World Heritage Site. This remarkable town boasts stunning architectural gems in the Picaresque style, all while offering a wealth of intriguing historical insights.

Our exploration will include a visit to the famous shells of St. James, adorning the Casa de las Conchas (House of Shells), which is situated directly across from the impressive temple of La Clerecía, formerly a Jesuit College and now the site of the Pontifical University.

As we proceed along Libreros Street, we will arrive at the University of Salamanca, the oldest university in Spain, where notable figures such as Fray Luis de León, Francisco de Vitoria, and Unamuno once taught. After taking in the intricate Picaresque features of its facade, we will enter to experience the renowned Sky of Salamanca, a 15th-century fresco maintained within the historic structures of the Escuelas Menores.

Next, we will visit the two impressive cathedrals, starting with the New Cathedral, constructed over a span of 220 years, from 1513 to 1733. Entering the Old Cathedral feels like stepping into the Middle Ages, with its distinct architecture and exquisite sculptures and paintings. Here, we will appreciate the notable cloister, once the site of the first University of Salamanca, and pay special attention to the Chapel of Santa Barbara, a graduation venue for many luminaries of Spanish literature.

The tour will conclude at the Casa Lis Museum, a cultural gem and one of the most cherished destinations in Castilla and León.
