Portugal. It has a lot of
monuments from different
centuries that show the

who contributed to build
Salamanca as it is today.

Salamanca, together with other
twelve cities in Spain, was declared
Humankind Heritage.
Salamanca was founded like most of the
cities, near a river and a hill. It was the
usual behaviour for fist settlements. The
settlers looked for a river to get the
necessary water and a hill to build
houses to be able to defend themselves
from every attacks. The river was in itself
a natural “wall”.

of the oldest in Spain and Europe. The life of
the city has always been conditioned to
the presence of students.

photographied. It is a tradition to look
