Under the skies of Salamanca, both its historical and heritage skies, Salamanca traces a series of fascinating non-celestial constellations across its urban and natural geography. These are the Tourist Constellations of Salamanca, an innovative and enriching way to highlight its dispersed heritage resources, each telling a story, a fragment of time frozen in stone, wood, art, heritage, and nature.

The constellations reveal the essence of Salamanca, woven into the fabric of its history and the brilliance of its monuments. Each street, each square, becomes a point of light on the vast map of the city, where travelers lose themselves among its stone labyrinths and stories carved into collective memory.

The Tourist Constellations of Salamanca are stars in a firmament rich in history and culture, shining more brightly when experienced together through their common elements, whether in time or in stories.

All cities have their sky, except Salamanca, which has two. One, pictorial, scientific, and mythological, designed to explain and move us: Fernando Gallego’s in the Minor Schools of the University. And another, astronomical, bright by day, mysterious by night, but in any case, infinite and protective. Both share a special element that somehow connects them: the constellations. These not only unfold in the firmament but also leave their mark on the ground.

In Salamanca, these sets are especially linked to heritage, walking, discovering the city, and its symbolic architecture. Constellations are rooted in our imagination as reference points of the territory and markers of our experience, and are a box of emotions that takes us into the origins. In the darkness of the firmament, constellations emerge as ethereal stories that connect the past with the present, weaving myths and legends that inhabit the soul of places.

In our case, surely due to the two skies, we call them ‘Tourist Constellations’ because they represent not only a natural and cultural resource but also an invitation to explore and discover the city and its rich history from a unique perspective. These constellations, like drawings and stories up high, in time and at night, have their correspondence on the ground and on earth, uniting the sky and the city in an incomparable tourist and cultural experience.
