Salamanca, history filled cultural center,
Literature, poetry, architecture and art
Spain’s most perfect Plaza Mayor,
Buildings from Romans, Visigoths and Moors
Sun drenched trees in wide open spaces.
Founded by Celts, Carthaginian conquest,
Then by Romans, eventually by Moors,
Conquerors remnants part of culture today,
New cultural creations are vibrantly alive
Celebrating their important values of life.
Universidad de Salamanca since 1130
Intellectual fervor, continual stimulation,
Diverse students from every continent,
Miguel Unamuno, respected university rector,
Philosopher, essayist and poet of modern Spain.
Salamanca’s old town, monument to past glories,
Architectural styles with each period’s identity
Conquerors who came and enriched its culture.
