  • The House of Shells was built around 1500 for a professor or medicine named Dr. Rodrigo Maldonado de Talavera. The interor has been converted into a public library. The motif was a reference to Talavera's status as chancellor of the Order of St. Jamse, whose symbol is the shell.

     I walked alone in the streets of Salamanca and never had a problem. It is like other cities, take precautions and nothing else, but in general it is a very safe city.

     Nice pages. I'm off there in March.
