History & Context

Salamanca - Founded in the 1100s The city of Helmántica, our present-day Salamanca, lies at the central point of the so-called Ruta de la Plata (lit.: the Route of Silver). This, in turn, connected the rich gold mines and the northern ports with the southern section of the Peninsula. Helmántica was a city in the flourishing province of the Roman Empire known as Hispania. One of the most important vestiges of its role as an enclave on this route is the city's beautiful bridge, one of the best preserved examples of Roman engineering in Spain. Salamanca, with a population of about 170,000 inhabitants, is the capital of a varied and heterogeneous territory. To the south lie the very high and enchanting mountain ranges of the Sierra de Béjar and the Sierra de Francia, while to the north-west a deep steep cliff cut out of the granite by the erosive action of the river Duero (Los Arribes) marks the border with Portugal.
