Palacio de Anaya
An 18th-century neoclassical building opposite the New Cathedral, now a university literature faculty. Its courtyard and grand staircase can be entered free of charge.
The Palacio de Anaya was originally the College of San Bartolomé, founded in the 15th century, and was rebuilt in neoclassical style in the 18th century. It is now the Faculty of Philology of the University of Salamanca. Four massive columns on the porch face the side of the New Cathedral. Inside are an impressive double-flight staircase and a colonnaded courtyard, which can be visited freely during the academic term. The Anaya Square in front is shaded by trees and offers a good angle for photographing the whole cathedral.
