Salamanca combines urban history with the landscapes and cultural routes of the province of Salamanca. The Ciudad Vieja de Salamanca has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988. The old town is home to important Romanesque, Gothic, Moorish, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. The Escuelas Menores preserve a special detail: one of their classrooms contains a ceiling painted by Fernando Gállego.
Renting a holiday apartment in Salamanca is an independent decision regarding the accommodation for your stay.
