Salamanca: A Blend of Youth and History

Salamanca is a town that is both young and old at the same time. The town is young for the many students who go to the city's university, a center of higher learning for hundreds of years. And old in the sea of historic buildings that you'll see when you look out over the cityscape. These 15th and 16th-century palaces, university buildings, and churches are made out of Villamayor stone, a light beige-colored sandstone that seems to turn golden when the sun is low. This has given the town of Salamanca the nickname of La Dorada, the Golden City. The following are just a couple of the highlights of this town.

The Old Cathedral

Old Cathedral. Salamanca's a city with two cathedrals attached. The oldest of the two cathedrals was erected between the 1100s and 1200s and has an enchanting combination of romanesque and gothic architectural styles, each style reflecting the change in fashion as the cathedral was being built. There are lots to attract your gaze inside, but nothing quite as beautiful as the 15th-century altarpiece with 53 painted panels depicting the life cycle of the Virgin Mary and Jesus. The chapels within the cathedral contain the solemn tombs of medieval bishops and nobility.

The New Cathedral

New Cathedral. The old cathedral's newer partner was completed in the 1700s and also has a mixture of styles. By the time it was built the baroque style was popular, but Salamanca's authorities wanted the new cathedral building to harmonize with the old so they chose a gothic appearance, a long time after this had become outmoded. The cathedral took heavy damage during the Lisbon Earthquake in 1755, and to commemorate the catastrophe and the subsequent patch-up job locals take part in the Maruquelo on the 31st of October every year, climbing to the cupola of the tower playing flutes and drums.
