GUIDED TOUR AND VIRTUAL REALITY EL BOTÁNICO ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK
1 hour
The "Salamanca culta y oculta" program offers a unique experience at El Botánico Archaeological Park: a guided tour incorporating virtual reality technology to enrich the itinerary. This site, located on the western edge of the Teso de las Catedrales, preserves archaeological remains of great historical value.
Exploring the Archaeological Park with Virtual Reality
The tour is designed so that, through VR headsets, participants can visualize how the buildings, whose ruins are found in the park today, originally appeared. Specifically, you will immerse yourself in the history of:
The Convent of San Agustín and its Church of San Pedro: An important center of knowledge through which figures like Fray Luis de León passed.
The Colegio Mayor de Cuenca: A notable 16th-century building, also linked to the University of Salamanca, which became a significant learning center.
The experience combines expert guidance, narrating the history of the site, with the visual immersion offered by virtual reality, bringing the archaeological remains to life before your eyes.
