西班牙西北部的萨拉曼卡大学成立于1218年，是欧洲最古老的大学之一，也是该国第一所高等教育机构
这所著名的大学拥有约30000名学生，被称为“西班牙的牛津”，是一个重要的人文学科研究中心。萨拉曼卡大学在阿维拉、贝加尔和萨莫拉也有校区
萨拉曼卡大学由法学院、文科学院、理学院和医学院以及其他学术单位组成，提供250多个学术课程。
该机构于1929年开始教授西班牙语和文化课程，每年吸引4000多名外语学习者。全年的西班牙语课程在Escuelas Menores大楼教授，毕业学生曾在那里用牛血、橄榄油和香草制成的墨水在墙上签名。这所大学的校训大致翻译为“大自然没有给予，萨拉曼卡没有提供”
大学校友包括《堂吉诃德》作者米格尔·德·塞万提斯、西班牙征服者埃尔南·科尔特斯和电影导演亚历山大·佩恩，后者执导了《关于施密特》和《人行道》
萨拉曼卡人口约17万，距离马德里约两小时车程。它被称为“La Dorada”或黄金城，因为它的砂岩建筑散发出“光芒”。它的老城是市长广场、两座大教堂和贝壳之家的所在地，具有联合国教科文组织世界遗产中心的地位。2002年，这座城市被命名为欧洲文化之都
Established in 1218, Salamanca University in northwest Spain is one of the oldest institutions in Europe and the country's first higher education institute.
The prestigious university, which teaches about 30,000 students, has been dubbed the ”Oxford of Spain“ and is an important centre for the study of the humanities. Salamanca University also has campuses in Ávila, Béjar and Zamora.
Salamanca University is made up of the colleges of law, liberal arts, and science and medicine, as well as other academic units, and there are more than 250 academic programmes on offer.
The institution began teaching Spanish language and cultural courses in 1929 and attracts more than 4,000 foreign language learners each year. The year-round Spanish language programme is taught in the Escuelas Menores building where graduating students once wrote their signatures on its walls in an ink made of bull’s blood, olive oil and herbs. The university's motto roughly translates as "what nature doesn't give, Salamanca doesn't provide".
University alumni include Don Quixote author Miguel de Cervantes, Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés, and the film director Alexander Payne, who directed About Schmidt and Sideways.
Salamanca, which has a population of about 170,000 people, is about two hours' drive from Madrid. It is known as ”La Dorada“, or the Golden City, because of the ”glow“ given off by its sandstone buildings. Its Old City, home to Plaza Mayor, two cathedrals and the House of Shells, has Unesco World Heritage Centre status. In 2002, the city was named European Capital of Culture.
