Why gift a star map of Salamanca?
Gifting a star map of Salamanca means celebrating the city of knowledge and golden stone beneath the stars. Perfect for a graduation gift, this map immortalises the sky that inspired the university's first astronomers — the very scholars who contributed to the Gregorian calendar reform. Every star above Salamanca shines like the famous frog on the facade — a celestial good-luck charm for a new beginning.
The sky of Salamanca
At 41.0 degrees north latitude on the Castilian plateau at 800 metres elevation, Salamanca benefits from the clear skies of the Spanish meseta. The University of Salamanca hosted one of Europe's earliest astronomy chairs, and its historic facade bears astronomical symbols. The surrounding Castilian plateau offers low humidity and moderate light pollution, allowing quality observing nights in the Salamancan countryside.
