Golden Heights, City of Romance

#EuropeanTravel Salamanca, the cultural heart of Spain **Salamanca**, located in northern Spain, is a UNESCO World Heritage city with 2,000 years of history. From traces of the Roman era to Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles— Each street is like an architectural museum. 🚩 Plaza Mayor The heart of Salamanca, Plaza Mayor is lively during the day and is illuminated with golden lights at night, and is called the most Spanish square. Walk under the arches and feel the local rhythm. 🚩 Salamanca Cathedral A unique structure with the old cathedral and new cathedral side by side! The old cathedral is the essence of 12th-century Romanesque architecture, and the new cathedral is a melting pot of beauty spanning the ages from Gothic to Baroque. The view from the stairs connecting the two cathedrals is an unforgettable moment. 🚩 Shell House (Casa de las Conchas) This impressive building with dozens of shell decorations covering its walls is a Gothic mansion filled with shells, a symbol of pilgrims. It is currently used as a library, and its interior retains a simple yet medieval charm. 🚩 Roman Bridge (Puente Romano) An ancient Roman vestige that crosses the Tormes River! This bridge is a passage connecting the past and the present, and is the best point to enjoy the panoramic view of Salamanca. The view of the cathedral and the old town is like a painting. #TravelPlan #Travel
