MAIN MONUMENTS OF SALAMANCA

Anaya Palace (Palacio de Anaya)

Currently, the Philology Faculty of The University of Salamanca, the Anaya Palace was designed and built in 1760, by José Hermosilla and Juan de Sagarvinaga after the damage caused to the city by the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. It was founded by Sir Diego de Anaya and served as the old College of San Bartolomé until 1798. This magnificent building is one of the few examples of neoclassical architecture in Salamanca. The incredible façade features a triangular pediment with powerful columns and a sweeping staircase on which you can rest and take in the views of the Cathedral just opposite the Palace.
