Salamanca, Spain: A Historic Place To Live 

Salamanca is the home of the University of Salamanca, which was created by Alfonso IX in the year 1218. It's significance and prestige has continued to grow until the present. The architecture of the university is stunning.

In the Spring of 2007, I spent several days in Salamanca, and everyday, I would go to the University area, and marvel at the architecture and intellectual history that came from this institution.

This picture is of the Plaza Mayor, the central gathering point for afternoon walks, and festive gatherings in Salamanca.
