The Plano de Salamanca of 1927 provides a remarkable view of one of Spain’s most historic and intellectually renowned cities at a time of modernization and civic expansion. Produced during a period when Spanish cartography achieved new standards of accuracy and clarity, this map captures Salamanca’s urban fabric as it balanced centuries of academic and architectural tradition with the dynamics of early 20th-century growth.

At the heart of the map lies the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site today, centered on the magnificent Plaza Mayor, the University of Salamanca, and the Cathedrals (Old and New)—all meticulously represented. The intricate network of medieval streets surrounding these landmarks reflects the city’s enduring layout, largely unchanged since the Renaissance. The map also records the emergence of new neighborhoods, broad avenues, and public institutions, signaling Salamanca’s adaptation to modern infrastructure and social needs in the 1920s.

Produced under the authority of the Instituto Geográfico y Estadístico, the Plano de Salamanca exemplifies both technical precision and aesthetic refinement. It would have served administrative, educational, and civic purposes, helping to document the city’s spatial organization and historical continuity.

By 1927, Salamanca was consolidating its identity as a center of learning, culture, and heritage—its ancient university attracting scholars from across Spain and beyond. This map, therefore, is not only a topographical document but also a cultural portrait of a city defined by knowledge, faith, and architectural beauty.
