The history of Salamanca's Roman bridge is intertwined with that of the city itself, and it has been one of its defining features for centuries. Located in a position that facilitated human settlement and the development of economic activity, its proximity to the three hills and the Tormes River made it a strategic location. It is a solid bridge, resistant to the passage of time. For centuries it served as the main access point to the city, until a new bridge was completed over the Tormes River in 1913, allowing the passage of vehicles.

Casa Lis is an impressive building created in 1905 on the city wall by architect Joaquín Vargas Aguirre for Miguel de Lis. It is one of the city's most admired monuments, and the north façade, currently the visitor entrance, is the finest example of modernist art in Salamanca. The complex, consisting of a two-story façade, courtyard, and gate, is extremely simple. The first floor and the gates are decorated with Belgian Art Nouveau influences; while the wooden door, set in a low arch, features floral and aquatic motifs highlighted in relief. The stained-glass windows on the south façade, facing the river, are particularly striking, providing ample light to the house and are of great beauty. Although Casa Lis was originally built as a family home, it has been home to the Museum of Art Nouveau and Art Deco since 1995, thanks to the donation of 19 collections of art objects (a total of approximately 2,500 pieces) by Salamanca-based antique dealer Manuel Ramos Andrade. New pieces acquired by the Museum have been added to these collections.
