The European Schools Newspaper April issue

THE EUROPEAN SCHOOLS NEWSPAPER ISSUE N. 3 LIS HOUSE Lis House is an urban mansion which was built by order of Mr Miguel de Lis, a hard-working businessman owner of a tannery. The façade is made of iron and glass. It is an example of industrial architecture used for residential purposes. Nowadays it is an Art Nouveau Museum where marvellous masterpieces are exhibited. It is said that its famous colourful windows shine at night because fairies light them up. THE CAVE OF SALAMANCA This cave corresponds to what became the crypt of the nonexistent church of St Cebrián. According to the tradition, the Devil gave classes of divination and other dark arts to seven students in this cave at night. Once the course was finished the worst of the seven would be at the hands of the devil. The legend says that the Marquis of Villena was one of the most gifted students of the Devil who managed to escape alive but without his shadow, which he lost forever to the devil. After reading all this information, what do you think of Salamanca? We hope you like it because we love it and are looking forward to telling you more about other places around our city, our food, customs and festivals. But this will be in another issue of The European Schools Newspaper!!
