catedral de salamanca


The New Cathedral of Salamanca, also known as Catedral Nueva, is a remarkable architectural feat that stands proudly alongside the Old Cathedral. It represents a blend of late Gothic and Baroque styles, with construction beginning in 1513 and concluding in 1733. Commissioned by Ferdinand V of Castile, it was declared a national monument in 1887. The cathedral's tower, rising to 92 meters, is one of the tallest in Spain, and the building itself is one of the largest Spanish cathedrals in size. This majestic structure not only serves as a place of worship but also as a historical monument, reflecting the city's rich cultural heritage.
