Activities in SalamancaIndividual Sights in SalamancaSight 1: Domus Artium 2002 (DA2)
DA2 Domus Artium 2002 is a contemporary art centre located in the city of Salamanca (Spain) and inaugurated in April 2002 on the occasion of the European Capital of Culture. It is built on what was the old provincial prison, a building built in 1930 and renovated by the architect Horacio Fernández del Castillo as a museum space, preserving original elements such as the cell doors and the original iron grille.
Sight 2: Iglesia del Carmen de Abajo
The Church of the Venerable Third Order of Carmen, known as the Church of Carmen de Abajo, is the only remaining remains of the Convent of San Andrés de Salamanca.
Sight 3: Ruinas de la Iglesia de San Polo
The church of San Polo was a religious temple that is now in ruins. These ruins now make up a public square and are partially integrated into a hotel. They are located southwest of the city of Salamanca in the vicinity of the Tormes River. It was located outside the walls, in the so-called neighbourhood of the Portogaleses, in a position very close to the old Puerta de San Pablo, which has now disappeared. It was built in the twelfth century. A strong restoration of the church was carried out in the sixteenth century, which maintained worship inside until the nineteenth century. The temple was abandoned at the end of the 19th century, when it was in ruins. The cult moved to the Convent of San Esteban and later to the church of the Trinitarians, where it remains as the parish of San Pablo. At the beginning of the 21st century, they are considered historical ruins.
Sight 4: Museo de Art Déco y Art Nouveau Casa Lis
The Museum of Art Nouveau and Art Deco of Salamanca, in the Casa Lis, is a museum that houses a collection of furniture and objects representative of the decorative arts. It was inaugurated in the spring of 1995 with funds from the donation that collector Manuel Ramos Andrade made to the city.
Sight 5: Parque Huerto de Calixto y Melibea
The Huerto de Calixto y Melibea is a 2,500 square meter garden located in the old town of the city of Salamanca (Spain). It is so named because it is inspired by the famous garden of Fernando de Rojas' tragicomedy, the Tragicomedy of Calisto and Melibea. It is located on the slope of the old Salamanca wall at the foot of the River Tormes. It is currently a romantic park that can be visited because of the love story of the characters in love in Fernando de Rojas' work: Calixto and Melibea. It was inaugurated on June 12, 1981.
