Huerto de Calixto y Melibea

This place is one of the most visited and beautiful in Salamanca, not only for its beautiful history but for the beautiful gardens wherein it rests. This is the garden of Calixto (Calisto) and Melibea, located on the old wall of Salamanca by the river Tormes.

The work is by Fernando de Rojas, who wanted to demonstrate in the garden the romantic and medieval airs that they lived in at that time.

The garden is about 2500 square meters and several elements attract the attention: the statue of Celestina (Celestina Monument) at the entrance, the fountain, the well, the bow and, of course, the distribution of plants and trees (where curiously, you are going to find many grapevines).

A beautiful garden stands on the remains of this antique city wall, from which you get a magnificent panorama of the bank of the Tormes. The orchard takes you back to medieval times, has a well where you can make wishes for eternal love, a great variety of plants, a mix of romance ... La Celestina immortalized in beautiful images.
