Clavero Tower

This building is one of the best known and typical of the city of Salamanca and was declared a national monument on June 3, 1931. Together with the Torre del Aire, they constitute the best of the urban fortifications built by the Salamanca nobility throughout the XV century.

House of Shells
Highlight • Historical Site
Its construction began in the late 15th century by order of Rodrigo Maldonado de Talavera, although it was his son, Rodrigo Arias Maldonado, who completed it and lived there.
It owes its name to the more than 300 shells depicted on its façade, arranged in staggered rows, following a rhomboidal composition typical of the Mudejar style.

Salamanca Cathedral
Highlight • Religious Site
The need to build this building arose when what is now known as the Old Cathedral became small due to the boom of the city, due to the university activity, at the beginning of the 16th century. For its construction, help was requested from the Catholic Monarchs.
The works began in 1512, on a project by Gil de Ontañón, and ended in 1733, so this cathedral is one of the last manifestations of Spanish Gothic.
It was planned that the Old Cathedral would remain standing to allow worship until the construction of the New one was completed and that at that time it would be demolished. When the work was completed, more than two centuries later, the idea was reconsidered and, luckily, both buildings were preserved.
