When Salamanca was named European Capital City of Culture 2002, there was a possibility of a qualitative development concerning the cultural matter. Among other projects and facilities, it was decided to re-open the old provincial prison and transform it into an Art Centre: the Domus Artium 2002.

Its exhibitions are an excellent opportunity to enjoy the contemporaneous art and a brilliant counterpoint to the historical visit of the city.
