Salamanca has a fascinating, well-preserved and intact old town with Renaissance and Plateresque architecture. My husband and I only had an afternoon so we needed to prioritised what we saw. There are several highlights not to be missed, namely:-
▪The Catedral Vieja and Nueva (old and new) whose altar piece in the old Cathedral dates from 1445. Entrance for seniors is only €4 with a very informative audio-tour.
▪The university dating from13th Century in Calle de los Liberos has an elaborate facade in which is a medalion carved in relief of two Catholic Monarchs.
▪ Torre del Clavero is a 15th Century tower with its original turrets. And, of course, the
▪ UNESCO World Heritage site of Plaza Major dating from the 18th Century is one of Spain's largest and most beautiful squares.
Why not do what we did, for €5 we sat with 2 coffees to enjoy its splendor?
Parking Colon was very convenient and cost just under €5 for the afternoon and is very close to this attraction.

Well preserved watch tower. Not sure you can get inside. Great views in the surrounding area. Worth a visit and photo.

This Gothic tower remains of what was once a noble palace.
Constructed in the 15th century, it has a square base that turns into an octagon at about 20 meters. Each of the eight sides has a smaller cylindrical tower with a "basketweave" pattern on the bottom and a shield midway. Small blind arches decorate the top.

Lots of work went into this beautiful tower and it's a shame you cant get into the government buildings. Nice to take a picture of but nothing else around it.

Appears as though it was a lookout tower for a gate in the city wall. We admired it from all sides but entrance is not permitted. Present use is as a government building.

The tower was built in the 15th century as part of the Palace of Sotomayor. It houses now a government office. It has a square base that turns into an octagon as it goes up.

Were out walking and stumbled upon this tower. There is no access to the interior. Just an interesting tower in the city. It has a square base and rises to a octagon at the top.

You can get up close to the old Torre Clavero but unfortunately you can't get inside. From it's roof turrets there would probably be some great views. It's down the side of the central hill between the Rua Mayor and the Grand Via. However it makes for a good photo subject.

We found that tower and liked what we saw. As mentioned earlier the tower is quite unusual as it's square at the base and octagonal at the top. Seems like it's a private property so no entrance for visitors.
