November 3, 2025, Puente Romano de Salamanca

The history of Salamanca's Roman bridge is intertwined with that of the city itself, and it has been one of its defining features for centuries. Located in a position that facilitated human settlement and the development of economic activity, its proximity to the three hills and the Tormes River made it a strategic location. It is a solid bridge, resistant to the passage of time. For centuries it served as the main access point to the city, until a new bridge was completed over the Tormes River in 1913, allowing the passage of vehicles.

It's a place well worth a visit. "The Morille Art Cemetery (Museum-Mausoleum) was initiated by artists Domingo Sánchez Blanco and the late Javier Utray. Receptive to the proposal, the Morille City Council Plenary, in a session held on April 11, 2005, approved the allocation of a 50,000 m2 plot for this purpose (in the Centeneros de la Iglesia area) and to actively participate in its development and operation. The basic purpose of the Morille Art Cemetery is the burial of pieces of recognized artistic value and/or directly linked to the field of avant-garde art, understanding that the process leading to the burial is no less important than the burial itself. Each burial (each process) is cataloged and documented in its basic outlines, with a view to the future creation of a Documentation Center that would allow complete and rigorous access to the various works. This is an ambiguous, complex, and plural proposal: for some, it is a "permanent repository of "art"; for others, a "museum-mausoleum," an "underground art center," and even a "concave museum"; although the term "art cemetery" has prevailed over the others, perhaps due to the forcefulness of the terms. The plurality of approaches places the Morille Art Cemetery precisely at the crossroads that discusses the very essence of artistic creation (its nature and social function, among other considerations), not without an evident critical dimension regarding the foundations of current museology. The project's wide impact is one indication of the interest it has aroused among both the general and specialized public.

Between 1807 and 1814, the Iberian Peninsula became the scene of the Napoleonic Wars. One of the provinces that suffered most from these conflicts was Salamanca. Several battles were fought on this terrain.

This 11th/12th century fortress played an important role during the wars between León and Castile, due to its strategic location on the border line between the two kingdoms.

The Roman Bridge, or Puente Romano. This magnificent granite structure with 26 arches crosses the Tormes River. The 15 arches on the city side are of Roman origin, while the rest date from the 18th century, when a restoration took place. It is such a great symbol for Salamanca that it is included in the city's coat of arms.
