Tips from the Community
The Cathedral of Salamanca is actually an exceptional architectural complex formed by two cathedrals joined together: the Old Cathedral (Catedral Vieja) and the New Cathedral (Catedral Nueva). This unique combination allows you to walk seamlessly from medieval Romanesque to late Gothic and Baroque, offering one of the most fascinating journeys through time in Castile and León.

The history of Salamanca's Roman bridge is intertwined with that of the city itself, and it has been one of its defining features for centuries. Located in a position that facilitated human settlement and the development of economic activity, its proximity to the three hills and the Tormes River made it a strategic location. It is a solid bridge, resistant to the passage of time. For centuries it served as the main access point to the city, until a new bridge was completed over the Tormes River in 1913, allowing the passage of vehicles.

The Roman Bridge, or Puente Romano. This magnificent granite structure with 26 arches crosses the Tormes River. The 15 arches on the city side are of Roman origin, while the rest date from the 18th century, when a restoration took place. It is such a great symbol for Salamanca that it is included in the city's coat of arms.
