• Brief description: Considered the oldest university in Spain and one of the four oldest in the world (13th century). Among its student body were the discovers of the "new" American continent, and its professors played an important role in the discovery of and the policies applied in the New World. Don't miss the large window of the Law Faculty, as far up as Calle Serranos, with its beautiful grilles and ornaments featuring images of the sun and moon. Further on, as far up as Patio de las Escuelas Menores, you'll find the famous facade of the University of Salamanca. On the facade, which resembles a large rich tapestry, a frog is hidden. Student legend has it that if you can find it without any help, you'll be successful in your studies. Good luck! While other visitors are always pointing at it, here's a hint if you're having troubles: it's on the right, halfway up, resting on top of a skull. You can visit the interior though we don't particularly recommend it. There is a cloister with two floors joined by a beautiful Gothic stairway with medieval decorations of a somewhat racy nature. On the ground floor you can also visit the former classrooms of Fray Luis de León and Miguel de Unamuno as well as the university chapel in whose Mudejar-style ceiling are interred the remains of Fray Luis de León.
