Overview

  • Step into a 16th-century world where unfathomable wealth from the New World and the Castilian wool trade transformed a city into a canvas of golden stone. Join Clara, an architectural historian and design lover, and her local friend Lucas, as they decode the 'Plateresque'—Spain's audacious architectural experiment that turned buildings into monumental pieces of silver jewelry. From the imperial swagger of the University to the hidden, terrifying grotesques of cloistered convents, discover how power, anxiety, and genius were carved into the very fabric of Salamanca.
