The fact that a place on the Iberian Peninsula is included in the list of the three most famous pilgrimage destinations in the Christian world – along with Jerusalem and Rome – is thanks to one of Jesus' apostles, who is said to have preached here. After his martyrdom, which is briefly reported in the Acts of the Apostles, his body miraculously found its final resting place here: Saint James the Greater. A small local sanctuary was initially built over his grave; later, a city developed that even bears his name (Santiago de Compostela), and the church in his honor became a cathedral, i.e., a bishop's church. According to national legend, Saint James also played a key role in the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors and is the patron saint of Spain.

Casa Lis is an impressive building created in 1905 on the city wall by architect Joaquín Vargas Aguirre for Miguel de Lis. It is one of the city's most admired monuments, and the north façade, currently the visitor entrance, is the finest example of modernist art in Salamanca. The complex, consisting of a two-story façade, courtyard, and gate, is extremely simple. The first floor and the gates are decorated with Belgian Art Nouveau influences; while the wooden door, set in a low arch, features floral and aquatic motifs highlighted in relief. The stained-glass windows on the south façade, facing the river, are particularly striking, providing ample light to the house and are of great beauty. Although Casa Lis was originally built as a family home, it has been home to the Museum of Art Nouveau and Art Deco since 1995, thanks to the donation of 19 collections of art objects (a total of approximately 2,500 pieces) by Salamanca-based antique dealer Manuel Ramos Andrade. New pieces acquired by the Museum have been added to these collections.
