Salamanca Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

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

New Cathedral, Salamanca

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Plaza Mayor of Salamanca

Highlight • Monument

Salamanca's Plaza Mayor, from the 18th century, is one of the most beautiful urban monumental squares in Europe. Its construction began in 1729 at the request of the magistrate Rodrigo Caballero Llanes. The project was in charge of the architect Alberto de Churriguera, followed by his nephew Manuel de Lara Churriguera and was completed by Andrés García de Quiñones in 1755. Located in the center of the city, it forms an irregular supported quadrilateral, with three floors in each facade, chaired by the City Council. In the Royal Pavilion the effigy of King Ferdinand III El Santo stands out and the medallions on the spandrels of its arches represent Spanish monarchs. In the south pavilion, or of San Martín in the medallions we see illustrious soldiers or conquerors, while in the petrineros pavilion the figures of the medallions are characters of the culture.

Clavero Tower

Highlight • Monument

Located at the crossroads between Miñagustín street and Consuelo street we find the Torre del Clavero. It dates back to the 15th century and they say that it was built as part of the Palace of Don Francisco de Sotomayor who was a keystone maker, hence the name by which this unique building is known.
This building is one of the best known and typical of the city of Salamanca and was declared a national monument on June 3, 1931. Together with the Torre del Aire, they constitute the best of the urban fortifications built by the Salamanca nobility throughout the XV century.
