Casa de las Conchas
One of many of Salamanca, amazing buildings, now one of the public library.
Building begun in 1493 to 1517 by Rodrigo Arias de Maldonado, a knight of the Order of Santiago de Compostela and a professor in the University of Salamanca. Its peculiar feature is the façade, mixing late Gothic & Plateresque style, decorated with more than 300 shells, symbol of the order of Santiago, as well as of the pilgrims performing the Way of St. James

Baños de Doña María de Padilla (Baths of Dona Maria de Padilla) are actually no baths at all, but cisterns built in the 11th century in the Almohad period, the name is a sort of saucy joke.

According to legend she went naked into the cistern to take her baths on hot Andalucía days.
