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 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.

Another place to enjoy the beautiful views of the city of Salamanca, with the imposing cathedral, from the other side of the river.

The New Cathedral of Salamanca, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, began construction in 1513, although construction lasted until 1733. Great architects such as Juan and Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón, Juan de Álava, and the Churriguera brothers, among others, worked there. The initial style was late Gothic, and despite the extensive work, this stylistic unity assigned by the Chapter has been maintained. On the exterior, we can see impressive facades with highly elaborate and unique decorative details, such as those on the three doors of the main façade, an interesting iconographic ensemble with reliefs of scenes from the Nativity and the Epiphany, and, above the large central ogee arch, a beautiful Calvary. The Palm Doorway depicts the sculptural group of the Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. On this façade there are sculpted figures that do not correspond to the period, since we can see, to mention the most well-known, a monster eating ice cream or a curious astronaut (author's licenses in a 1992 restoration to justify the historical moment of its incorporation).
