Alba de Tormes, Medieval municipality in Province of Salamanca, Spain.

Alba de Tormes sits at 836 meters elevation along the Tormes River, featuring stone buildings and narrow streets across 46 square kilometers of territory.

The Battle of Alba de Tormes in 1809 resulted in a French victory when Spanish forces were caught while attempting to cross the Tormes River.

The municipality preserves medieval architecture through the Castle of the Dukes of Alba and multiple religious buildings from the 12th to 15th centuries.

The municipality maintains direct bus connections to Salamanca city, with services departing every two hours from the central station at Plaza Mayor.

Saint Teresa of Avila established her final convent in this municipality, where her remains rest in an ornate silver and glass reliquary.
