Salamanca in the Middle Ages: A Photowalk

On January 28 we went for a photo walk in Salamanca, Spain. In this walk, we saw different medieval monuments, different types of architecture (Romanesque, Gothic and Plateresque) and learned about the traditional building construction of this city. As a result of the constructing with the Villamayor stone, Salamanca is also known as the “Golden City”.
