2 Euro - Salamanca - Spain - 2025 - UNC

2 euro commemorative coin dedicated to the Old City of Salamanca, UNESCO Heritage location, UNC.
This ancient university town north-west of Madrid was first conquered by the Carthaginians in the 3rd century B.C. It then became a Roman settlement before being ruled by the Moors until the 11th century. The university, one of the oldest in Europe, reached its high point during Salamanca's golden age. The city's historic centre has important Romanesque, Gothic, Moorish, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. The Plaza Mayor, with its galleries and arcades, is particularly impressive.
The Old City of Salamanca has retained key attributes of authenticity in terms of form, design, materials, and substance. Location and setting characteristics have also been maintained, as well as the use and function within the modern city.
The city of Salamanca was registered as “Historic Site” in 1951, the highest legal protection at the national level.
