Salamanca information
La Alberca information
La Alberca was the first rural village in Spain
to be given National Historic Heritage status. A walk around its
historic centre gives us a taste of the tradition in its houses
and streets, built centuries ago.
The main square, surrounded on all four sides by columned porches,
continues to be the centre of the town's social life. The most
representative religious building is the parish church of La Asunción,
erected in the 18th century, which inside houses a granite pulpit
from the 16th century and a splendid Gothic processional cross
in gilded copper. Outstanding is the figure of Cristo del Sudor
attributed to Juan de Juni.
