I think that the main reason to visit Salamina is to just wander around the streets and enjoy the typical 'paisa' architecture. Salamina is one of the oldest paisa towns in the region, and due to its isolation has retained a small-town paisa feel, as well as the architecture.
Many of the houses and building have ornately decorated wooden doors, window shutters and balconies.

The main plaza in Salamina is the centre of all activity in the town, which is not saying much considering just how sleepy/quiet of a town it is. There is a church on the north side and the 'alcaldia' (mayors office) on the east side. On the south and west sides are restaurants and a hospedaje, where I stayed.
The plaza itself is much more park like than most 'main plazas' in Colombia. It has many trees and a fountain the middle, as well as a gazebo on the south-west side.
