FALL BLOCK I - SALAMANCA
Castilla and León is a region of northwestern Spain. Salamanca, Segovia, and Burgos are 3 of its main cities. Salamanca is known for its 12th-century University, Renaissance churches and baroque Plaza Mayor. Segovia’s ancient Roman aqueduct has more than 160 arches, and the hilltop Alcázar castle overlooks the city. Burgos is marked by its intact medieval architecture. Its most recognizable landmark is the French Gothic Cathedral of St. Mary, whose 3 main doorways are flanked by ornamented bell towers.
