The New Cathedral is one of the two cathedrals in the city of Salamanca.
The need to build this building arose when the one now known as the Old Cathedral became too small due to the boom in the city, due to university activity, at the beginning of the 16th century. Aid was requested from the Catholic Monarchs for its construction.
The work began in 1512, based on a project by Gil de Ontañón, and was completed in 1733, making this cathedral one of the last manifestations of Spanish Gothic.
It was planned that the Old Cathedral would remain standing to allow worship until the construction work on the New Cathedral was completed, when it would be demolished. When the work was completed, more than two centuries later, the idea was reconsidered and, fortunately, both buildings were preserved.
