The Old Cathedral of Salamanca is much more than a religious building: it is a living testament to the history, architecture, and cultural identity of the city. Here is a complete overview from a historical and artistic perspective.
Construction began in the 12th century, following the restoration of the diocese by Alfonso VI and the repopulation of Salamanca. The first to promote it was Bishop Jerónimo de Périgord.
It represents the transition between Romanesque and Gothic styles, evident in its pillars and vaults: the former designed for barrel vaults, and the latter featuring Gothic rib vaulting.
The Old Cathedral of Salamanca is open to the public and forms part of the monumental complex along with the New Cathedral.

The path up to the cathedral tower offers the opportunity to take a look into the nave of the old cathedral.
