Salamanca, the Golden University, 1580

Salamanca in 1580 is at the height of its university prestige: a city of learned houses, lit by the honey-gold stone of its façades and filled with thousands of students in capes and gowns. This walk follows the river approach, crosses the Roman bridge, threads market square and narrow lodging lanes, and reaches the carved university front, the Patio de Escuelas, the Shell House and the twin cathedrals rising above the old roofs.

25 scenes, 16 streets, squares and views, 9 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Salamanca as it stood in 1580 (“University of Salamanca”).
