Ieronimus

Reviewed By 6nickc - New York City, United States

This was easily the best thing I did in Salamanca. The trip up takes you around several scenic viewpoints of the cathedral and both the interior and exterior, culminating in great views at the top of the Bell tower. The stairs are quite steep for the final climb, be warned, it is unsuitable for those with low mobility and can only be traversed one direction at a time, leading to a traffic light system. I heard someone below me slip and fall once.

Old Cathedral (Catedral Vieja)

Reviewed By Duquesadiner - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Although we didn’t take the audio tour, there is enough to see by just strolling around the inside of this beautiful church. My advice is to spend a good while on the outside initially, the architecture is simply magnificent, you will spot some strange additions by a few stone masons over the years, the astronaut being a good example. There is a charge to enter but it is worth it. It is very cool inside, a welcome change in temperature on this visit, it was 35 degrees outside. If you look up once inside you might see people walking along what appears to be an inside track on the roof, they have actually come in through the Ieronimus, a separate but attached building. Actually I enjoyed that visit more than the cathedral, due to the great views over the city.

St. Stephen's Convent (Convento de San Esteban)

Reviewed By Craig1961_01 - Middleton, United Kingdom

Having visited the two cathedrals, old and new, we weren’t really expecting anything as spectacular within a few hundred metres of those. Wrong again! This convent has a huge church which in most places would be classed as a cathedral due to its size, splendour and workmanship. It could easily be the most magnificent building in Salamanca on it’s own merits. There are explanations of monastic life around the cloisters and other rooms, but the details of carvings inside and outside this building are second to none in Italy or other great European centres.

Reviewed By dware82320 - Henderson, United States

Inside and out , this museum is beautiful ! Superb location with an extensive collection of all things Art Deco and art nouveau. While the furniture was of particular interest to me, the museum also has a beautiful collection of period glassware and jewelry. There is a gift shop, of course, and a small cafe.

Scala Coeli Torres de la Clerecia

Reviewed By SenoraHitch - Gill, United States

You can climb these towers in the day or night. In the day you get a real overview of the city and see all the beautiful buildings. I went at 10:00 pm and saw both the sunset and the lights. Spectacular! The inside tower stairs are solid wood with a solid staircase and should not bother climbers. Up at the top didn’t bother me but I could see a problem for people with height issues. You can stay inside the towers and still get spectacular views. Or step out onto a small balcony for a better view. You also walk between the towers and can also climb up further to the bell towers in each tower. Definitely worth the climb.
