Casa Lis introduces Art Nouveau and iron architecture into a city associated with monumental stone. Its difference is part of its appeal: Salamanca does not belong to just one period. Notice the role of glass, structure and decoration. The museum devoted to Art Nouveau and Art Deco extends this perspective towards objects in which art and everyday life meet in distinctive ways.

Salamanca on a rainy day
These are two indoor options near the river with very different collections. Check opening and choose one before heading downhill from the centre. Allow time to return and eat; the outdoor route can be uncomfortable in heavy rain.

University and Cathedrals
Escuelas Mayores and the Cathedral complex can fill part of the day indoors. Book according to availability and leave time between entrances. Courtyards, squares and connections remain outdoors; Ieronimus includes terraces and is not an entirely sheltered visit.
Avoid too many consecutive tickets
Choose one main visit and keep another optional if the weather worsens. Check university and religious events, which can affect access. Plaza Mayor's arcades offer a break but do not form a sheltered route to every monument.
