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 bell tower of Salamanca Cathedral is one of the most emblematic elements of its architecture. It forms part of the New Cathedral, although it is integrated into the complex that includes the Old Cathedral. Baroque style predominates, although the base is Renaissance, reflecting the transition between the two cathedrals. Height: Approximately 92 meters, making it one of the tallest points in the city.

The Roman Bridge of Salamanca forms part of the Silver Route (Vía de la Plata), which connected Mérida with Astorga. Although its origins are Roman, dating from the 1st century AD, only the fifteen arches closest to the city are from this period; the other eleven underwent several reconstructions as a result of flooding of the Tormes River.

The Salamanca bullring, known as 'La Glorieta', was built in the 19th century, designed by the architect Cecilio González Domingo. Located between the Fuentesaúco and Valladolid highways, it was inaugurated on September 11, 1893.
