Museum of Commerce and Industry of Salamanca

1 hour 30 minutes

Around 1870, the Salamanca City Council approved the creation of a plan to provide drinking water to the citizens of the historic center. The main infrastructure of that first supply network was the reservoir built on Cerrito de San Mamés. The Museum of Commerce is located in that first cistern. Thanks to the change of use of the old building, that industrial heritage was preserved, in addition to creating a purely Salamancan tourist and cultural asset.

In the late 19th century, a water supply system was designed to bring water to the city center. The project, approved in the 1870s, incorporated machinery to lift water from the river, as it passed through Aldehuela, to the underground reservoirs located in El Rollo.
