Our Principal, Jesús Calvo, tells us that our School belongs to the Salesian Sisters, an order founded by Saint John Bosco in 1872, with the help of Saint Maria Mazzarello.

SAN JUAN BOSCO

The Salesian Sisters believe in the Preventive System of Education, which regards

education as a “matter of the heart”. There are three key

elements in the Preventive System:

reason, religion

and kindness

SAN JUAN BOSCO

And at our school, they aim at educating the pupils to be “good Christians and honourable citizens”. Our school dates back to 1904, although it has been in our present building since 1944.

The Main Square in salamanca was built in 1729 to 1756, it is the political centre of the city and now it´s one of the most famous places in salamanca.

The main square

The main square in salamanca isn´t a perfect square (it´s an irregular cuadrilateral)none of its facades has the same measures.

The main square

There, everyone meets their friends, family… It is our typical meting point.

In the main square there have been many exhibitions like this one:

In this photo I am wiht my friends in the main square

It took two centuries (XII-XIV) to build this cathedral. It was the first cathedral of Salamanca and is dedicated to St. María de la Sede.

Old Cathedral

• In this cathedral we can find a lot of chapels as: San Martín, San Salvador, Santa Bárbara, San Bartolomé.

Old Cathedral

• The New Cathedral is next to the Old Cathedral.

• It was constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries in two styles: Gothic and Baroque.

new Cathedral

This is us outside the cathedral

This is the interior of the cathedral.

Anaya squareOne of the most beautiful and lively squares in Salamanca. It is always full of people enjoying outdoor activities, relaxing in the garden and enjoying the great historical framework in which it is located…

Anaya squareIt is great to relax: Sit in the green of its gardens and lose yourself in the sound of the Plaza Anaya… from the sound of the sparrows in the nests, to the murmur of conversations fixing the world, to the Spanish guitar improvising…

Anaya square

The New Cathedral is on the opposite side, and between both buildings there are gardens where there are always students sharing a sandwich and a talk about music or reading.

University of salamanca

Salamanca is the second oldest university in Europe after Bologna.The façade of the University is one of the most visited monuments of Salamanca.

University of salamancaThe façade is divided into three parts. In the lower part, there is an engraving of the king and queen of Spain at the time the University was built, Isabel and Fernando. On either side we can see vegetable, animal and geometric decoration.

• But the most attractive thing is the frog that we can see on one of the three skulls that there are in the façade.

• The legend says: students who find where the frog is, will pass their exams.

• In front of the main building, there is a square surrounded by other buildings. It is called the “Patio de Escuelas”, where we can appreciate different amazing engravings.

• The pontifical university is rooted in the thirteenth century of Collaboration Between the Pope and the King. It became an institution capable of combining Knowledge About man, society, nature, history and God.

pontifical university

• We go there, because “La Clerecía” is one of the most spectacular monuments

pontifical university

• The most important characteristic is that there are over 300 shells on the facade.

• In this moment there is a very important library.

• It has a famous legend I will tell you right now

House of shells

• The legend says that under one of these shells a precious treasure is hidden. But, now the only treasure that it keeps is one of the best libraries in the city, with a lot of books.

House of shells

• The bridge today is the result of several restorations. It was declared a Heritage Site in 1931 and a Cultural Site in 1998.

Roman bridge

• The bridge was in operation until the early twentieth century. Today only pedestrians can use it.

One of the most beautiful things to see from the “Roman Bridge" is the fireworks in festivals.

Roman bridge

Among its most notable decorative elements it includes, wonderful plants and trees, the wall, the Gateway Arch or the wishing well.

The Garden of Calixto and Melibea

Its name refers to the two characters in the Renaissance play "La Celestina"

compostela

During the way, pilgrims can rest in some villages and they can have lunch and sleep in some low cost hostels where they can meet people from all nationalities

In every village, pilgrims are given a credential. They must have all the credentials to obtain the Compostela when they arrive at Santiago.

The Compostela is the reward for such a long trip.

In Santiago de Compostela, the apostle Santiago was buried and his grave is visited by pilgrims from all over the world

In Spain we can find many turistic and attractive places, but my favorite is Valencia and Murcia, on the Mediterranean Sea.
