The Cathedral of Salamanca is a unique cathedral complex in Spain, as it has two cathedrals built in different periods and styles: the Old Cathedral and the New Cathedral.

Old Cathedral: Dedicated to Santa María de la Sede, it is in a transitional Romanesque style and began to be built in the first half of the 12th century. Its dome, known as the Torre del Gallo, is one of the most notable elements.

New Cathedral: Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, it mixes late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. It is the highest cathedral in Spain, 110 meters high. The idea of building a new cathedral arose due to the city's increasing population and the need for a larger space for worship.

Both cathedrals have been declared World Heritage Sites and are a fundamental part of the city of Salamanca1. If you want to visit them and learn more about their history, art and worship, you can do so through cultural visits that include state-of-the-art audio guides in several languages1. I hope you enjoy your visit to this impressive cathedral complex! 🏰✨
