Distinguished alumni of the University of Salamanca, historical figures of the University of Salaman

Salamanca first appeared in history as Elmanticay, in an article describing the city's fall to the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal in 220 BC. The stone oxen on the city's ancient Roman bridges (the city coat of arms is also adorned with a stone ox motif) are a legacy of that period, and they used to graze their cattle on the banks of the Tormes River. The bridge itself is said to have been built by Emperor Trajan, but only the 15 arches near the end of the city date back to the 1st century AD, while the rest were expanded in the 16th and 17th centuries after the bridge was destroyed by floods.

From the collapse of Roman rule in the third century AD to the re-inflow of immigrants into the city in the 11th century, nothing of importance remained except the remnants of the Roman and medieval defensive earthen walls, the ancient bridge over the Tormes River and its stone oxen.

There were three figures who contributed to Salamanca's prosperity in the Middle Ages. The first was Bernardo del Capio, a legendary hero who would later appear in Spanish literature. The second was Raymond of Burgundy, who facilitated the massive expansion of the city at the end of the 11th century, when the Cajitilians, Galicians, Mozarebs, Jews and Franks emigrated to the city, and the legal and territorial structure of the feudal system was clearly defined during the same period.

Bishop Gironimo, a priest of Cid, was in charge of the city's church organization and began to work on the construction of the cathedral.

Among the many literary figures associated with Salamanca, two names have become household names: Lazarus the Younger and Celestina on the Tormes River. Little Lazarus on the Tormes is an adventure written in the first person by an anonymous author, published in 1544. As his name suggests, the uninhibited protagonist was born on the banks of the Tormes River, and his life was spent trying not to let himself be too tired by moral issues or noble sentiments.

This ** marked the birth of Spanish picaresque literature, and at the same time became one of the sources of modern **. Celestina or The Tragicomedy of Calisto and Melibea (1499) was written in Salamanca by Fernando de Rojas, who became one of the most important pioneers of modern theatre thanks to the haunting characters of the tragic couple and the matchmaker Celestina.

Since 2006, the first batch of Chinese students to study undergraduate courses at the University of Salamanca has been the first batch.

In 2008, under the organization and advocacy of the Education Group of the Chinese Embassy in Spain, Zhao Bo (Liaoning) from the Department of Law, Wu Qiong (Shandong) from the Department of Economics and Business Science, and Xu Jinjing (Sichuan) from the Department of Fine Arts, under the organization and advocacy of the Education Group of the Chinese Embassy in Spain, established the Salamanca Association of Students and Scholars of the Blind and Blind Countries based on the earliest group of international students.

In general, most of the Chinese students studying at the University of Saskatchewan mainly study the Spanish language, and it is difficult to admit and graduate from other majors, especially graduate students, and there are few Chinese students.

Salamanca is one of Europe's most famous university towns after Oxford, a historic city that is home to talented people from all over the world who are engaged in research in various disciplines, and is a historical art textbook. The city, founded by the Romans, was restored in the 11th century after Visigoths and Muslims. In the 13th century, the oldest university in Spain was established here, and it continues to flourish today as the center of cultural and academic activity in Spain.

Roman, Gothic, Baroque and Islamic buildings are scattered throughout the city, each of which occupies a very important place in the history of Spanish art. As a result, this treasure trove of fine art is one of the premier tourist destinations in the Castile region. Salamanca was declared a UNESCO World Heritage City in 1988 and a European City of Culture in 2002.

The city of Salamanca, 200 km from Madrid, is very convenient. The city is rich in history and culture, but it is also a modern city that perfectly suits the needs of modern life for students. Founded in 1218, the University of Salamanca is the oldest university in Spain and has a rich history and academic prestige comparable to those of institutions such as the University of Oxford and the University of Paris.

It is not only an important building in Salamanca, but also one of the artistic treasures of the Spanish Renaissance. The University of Salamanca is a model for the early universities in the Latin-speaking region, with its humanistic roots. Religious schools of all sizes have visited here, leaving behind an eclectic and rich culture.

Like many ancient schools, there is a price here.

For nearly eight centuries, the University of Salamanca has been one of Europe's leading academic centers, along with the University of Paris (France), the University of Oxford (UK) and Bologna (Italy), and is a source of pride for Spaniards. The University of Salamanca is the oldest top public university in Spain and one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the world. The University is known for its expertise in the humanities and social sciences, and its strength in other fields such as the natural sciences should not be underestimated.

In 1218, King Alfonso IX of the Kingdom of León ordered the establishment of the University of Salamanca; In 1255, the University of Salamanca was jointly awarded the University Seal by King Alfonso X and Pope Alexander IV. Since its founding, the University of Salamanca has received strong support from the European elite led by the Holy See, and has established a comprehensive university education system with theology, law, humanities, literature, and linguistics as the main body. Countless scholars, literati and politicians were born from it, and it was here that the famous Salaz Manca school of the Renaissance began.

The ancient city of Salamanca, which developed around the University of Salamanca, is the birthplace of Castilian culture and the Spanish language, and was awarded the title of World Heritage Site by the United Nations in 1988. The University of Salamanca is one of the three Spanish universities of the Coimbra Group, known as the "European Ivy League", and enjoys a good reputation in the world.
