It is one of the largest and most beautiful squares in Spain and one of the main Baroque monuments of city architecture on the Iberian peninsula .

Since 1755 when it was built by Alberto de Churriguera, the Plaza Mayor has housed the Town Hall. It has also been a market place, a bull ring, a concert hall, a theater stage, an encounter point and a place to just stroll through. In addition, it has been a witness to the political, socioeconomic and religious changes that have taken place in Spain and in Salamanca .



It was and will continue to be the essence of the city. To understand the city it is necessary to enter the Plaza. Allow yourself to be seduced by it, contemplate it, walk through it, and sit down in the "sun that heals". It is the starting point to discover the city. The façade of the University, the Convent of the Dominicans, The Clergy building (La Clerecía), the Cathedral and the Plaza Mayor itself are the main doors through which to access the world of the city of Salamanca . Each door has its own voice and all lead to one place: the city of truth and beauty.
