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 history of Salamanca's Roman bridge is intertwined with that of the city itself, and it has been one of its defining features for centuries. Located in a position that facilitated human settlement and the development of economic activity, its proximity to the three hills and the Tormes River made it a strategic location. It is a solid bridge, resistant to the passage of time. For centuries it served as the main access point to the city, until a new bridge was completed over the Tormes River in 1913, allowing the passage of vehicles.

The Old Cathedral of Salamanca is dedicated to Saint Mary of the See. Construction began in 1140. Its predominant style is Romanesque, transitioning to Gothic. Originally, it was more of a crenellated fortress with towers serving as guard towers. Over the centuries, interior rooms such as the Dungeon Room and the Jailer's Room, which were useful during that period, became the bell-ringers' quarters. The Rooster Tower, so named for the shape of the weather vane at its top, is particularly noteworthy.
