La Clerecía (Iglesia del Espíritu Santo)

The building is beautiful, yes, but I don't think the visit is worth it for those who want to learn about its history because, besides seeing very little, the guide isn't very clear, and there's not really time to read and compare what's on the building's walls during the tour. However, the price isn't that high, and at the top of the tower, you can take some good photos.

After 198 stairs you arrive to the top of the tower. The landscape is great and you can see all the city because you have a 360° view in several wonderful windows. The visit to the tower have a price of 3.75€ and have a timetable. Here you can visit the another monument the church but you need pay another ticket. Some hours they have guided visits too.

Beautiful building, bad management of visits. You have to go in groups only. The guide speaks Spanish only. I respect the language but I don’t speak Spanish fluently yet. I believe it would have been much better if they let me go in without a guide.

Visit these towers for a fabulous view of Salamanca. They are accessed via a wooden staircase (not a stone spiral staircase) so it's relatively easy to climb. You can walk between the two towers and also ascend further up each tower. Entrance price was not expensive and it was not busy on a cold day in April even though it was just before Easter. We bought tickets at the entrance. We preferred doing it at our own pace rather than with a guided tour.

30 minute tower visit for awesome views, and a 30 minute tour (in Spanish), a beautiful boroque building and must see in Salamanca.

A must while in Salamanca. The views are breathtaking. Lots of stairs, but worth the effort.

Night over Salamanca. La Clerecia Church or the church of the clergy. Construction of the church started probably in 1599 according to the order of Queen of Spain Margaret of Austria (1584-1611) and had been accomplished in 1617, but final works were accomplished only in 1754. Church was built as the act of reparation to the Order of Jesuits for the act of imprisonment suffered by its founder Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556) by the Inquisition in the Mocha Tower of the Old Cathedral of Salamanca. Loyola was brought before the ecclesiastical inquiry commission of Inquisition on the charge of sympathy with the Alumbrados (Illuminaties) but was released with admonition only. So, even Loyola, who was canonized in 1622, appeared in Inquisition as the defendant. In fact, Inquisition acquitted defendants and requested simple repentance very often. Church was confiscated from Jesuits after their expulsion from Spain in 1767 according to Pragmatic Sanction issued by the King Carlos III of Spain (1716-1788). Church was grunted to the Royal Clergy of San Marcos and received its present time name, La Clerecia. Salamanca, Castile and Leon, Kingdom of 🇪🇸 Spain 🇪🇸. November 30, 2014.
