Across Calle Buenaventura from Convento de San Esteban , this is one of the most popular sights of Salamanca, a former Mudéjar palace of a court official. The cloisters date from the 16th century, and are, in the opinion of some architectural critics, the most beautiful in Salamanca. Climb to the upper gallery for a close inspection of the carved capitals covered with demons and dragons, saints and sinners, and animals of every description--some from the pages of The Divine Comedy. There's also a portrait of Dante.
