Salamanca's Plaza Mayor, from the 18th century, is one of the most beautiful urban monumental squares in Europe. Its construction began in 1729 at the request of the magistrate Rodrigo Caballero Llanes. The project was in charge of the architect Alberto de Churriguera, followed by his nephew Manuel de Lara Churriguera and was completed by Andrés García de Quiñones in 1755. Located in the center of the city, it forms an irregular supported quadrilateral, with three floors in each facade, chaired by the City Council. In the Royal Pavilion the effigy of King Ferdinand III El Santo stands out and the medallions on the spandrels of its arches represent Spanish monarchs. In the south pavilion, or of San Martín in the medallions we see illustrious soldiers or conquerors, while in the petrineros pavilion the figures of the medallions are characters of the culture.

Plaza Mayor is particularly impressive, unique house facades and magnificent shopping streets, a real highlight.

A delight of the square, to walk through its arches, in the middle, around ... wherever you look at it, it is a super special square.
