Low angle view of statue of Padre Vitoria, outside the Convent of St. Stephen, Salamanca, Spain, pictured on December 19, 2010 at night, floodlit. Commissioned by order Juan Alvarez de Toledo, Bishop of Cordoba, and designed by Juan de Alava, the church was built 1525-1618. The main portal, c.1660, has a row of decorated arches and a tympanum with a relief of the "Martyrdom of St. Stephen", by Juan Antonio Ceroni. Above it is a frieze in Italian style, depicting Calvary crowned by the Eternal Father. Salamanca, an important Spanish University city, is known as La Ciudad Dorada ("The golden city") because of the unique golden colour of its Renaissance sandstone buildings. Founded in 1218 its University is still one of the most important in Spain. Around it the Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
