Old Cathedral (Catedral Vieja)

Although the old cathedral is not so grand, this Romanesque temple conveys a medieval spirit and tranquility that captivates all who visit it. To be there is to remember that its walls were witnesses of banquets, exams (if the students passed, they were awarded the degree in the cloister of the Cathedral itself), councils, courts of the Inquisition... At the end of the 15th century, the population of Salamanca had increased significantly, thanks to the rise and fame of its University. The Old Cathedral had become too small, and the aesthetic and ideological predominance of the Gothic world had turned it into an archaic and impractical space.

New Cathedral (Catedral Nueva)

Few cities have two cathedrals: Salamanca does. The silhouette of the cathedrals presides over the Salamanca sky and their interior reflects the life and history of the city and its citizens. The magnificent complex formed by the New Cathedral and the Old Cathedral will allow you to enjoy the most varied artistic styles. Both are joined and access to the Old Cathedral is found from inside the New. In 1513, the construction of the New Cathedral began, one of the last Gothic cathedrals in Spain, which was completed two centuries later, in 1733. Different architectural styles are reflected in a fragmentary way in its construction. It is the largest and tallest building in the city.
