Ciudad Rodrigo is a town in the province of Salamanca, located half way between the capital city of the province and the Portuguese city of Guarda. Its main attraction is its heritage, which earned it the title of Historic-Artistic Site in 1944, so take advantage of our holidays in Ciudad Rodrigo and come and discover it for yourself.
The history of this city has been marked by struggles between the different civilisations who have passed through and have bequeathed the city with a wealth of monuments to admire. Some of its main attractions are the Cathedral of Santa María and the city walls, the Castle of Enrique II de Trastámara and the City Hall. You mustn’t leave without first crossing the medieval bridge that crosses the River Águeda, or without taking a tour of the city and discovering more of its splendid monuments, such as the three Roman columns or the Chapel of Cerralbo.
