Wednesday afternoon we met at 4:00 to go to the Museo Taurino, or Museum of Bullfighting. Due to some mixups, we ended up visiting La Universidad Pontificia (The Pontifical University, the other university in Salamanca, a private Catholic University) and la Clerecía (the church attached to the university. This turned out to be good, because the bullfight museum was rather small.

| This staircase is of curious workmanship, there are no columns nor beams supporting it. |
