The University of Salamanca was founded as a "General School of the kingdom" by the Leonese king Alfonso IX in 1218 to allow the Leonese people to stay and study at home without having to leave for Castile. During the 15th and 16th centuries, this university took part in the new humanist trends, and thanks to Nebrija´s teaching in Salamanca it became quite a popular studying location. The prestige of Salamanca brought to its university students from all over the Peninsula, and even Europeans and Spanish Americans. Nowadays, the University of Salamanca has more than 2,000 teachers and 38,000 students of which approximately 4,000 are foreign students coming from all over the world. Its great relationship with foreign universities, further institutions, private and public companies is very significant.
