Clerecia (Iglesia del Espiritu Santo)

Compañía, 1-5, Salamanca, Spain
Tel: +34 923 264660
 

This fine example of Spanish baroque architecture has belonged to the Pontificia University since 1941. King Felipe III was responsible for ordering its construction in 1617 and the work took almost 50 years to complete. The two commanding towers and the impressive baroque dome (designed by Andres Garcia de Quinones in the mid-18th century) confuse some visitors into thinking that this great Jesuit church is the cathedral. The interior galleries, side chapels and fluted Tuscan-style pilasters are all outstanding examples of their kind. The sculpture of the suffering Christ, created in 1760 by Luis Salvador Carmona, is magnificent. Admission is free Mass: 1:45p M-F, 7:30p Sa, 12:30p Su & holidays.
