Another impressive Spanish cathedral, I would agree with other reviewers : it is more impressive from the outside. However, you are looking at some of Earth’s marvel architecture, built by giants, still standing proud, do not make the mistake of not visiting the interior (and stop listening to cheapskates who can’t afford a €10 entrance fee that also serve to maintain the building). Compared to other cathedrals (Leon or Pamplona come to mind), it is not the most ornate. There is not that much art comparatively, but the grandeur of the place makes up for it. I do agree the Old Cathedral had more interesting art and artifacts. We did not have time for the tower but it is probably worth it for the view of the city’s layout. In my pictures, you can see where the walls of the New meets the Old Cathedral, rather unique feature of using the Old to build the New. Highly recommended combined with the Epicospal palace across the cathedral for more religious art. P.S.: please leave a ❤️ if this review was helpful in planning your visit, thank you ?

Two big buildings for ona city. They didn't build the new Gothic over the old Romanesque, so they have both styles joined by a side with a door to communicate them. Impressive the high of the Gothic tower.

Very impressive cathedral in Salamanca. We got tickets to go up the new part of the cathedral which meant going up to the bell tower. There are a lot of stairs so maybe not something for older people who aren’t able to walk because it’s quite a lot of stairs to get to the top and there are parts that are quite narrow. There are different areas of the cathedral that explain what the rooms were and the views from the top are very nice too. Definitely recommend going up here if you get the chance. Also gives you a nice orientation of the city..

One of great looking outside and just average inside … so if you did see the best ones (St Peter, or Burgos or NotreDameParis) skip buying ticket and ignore need for the tickets- just enter pray area 95% is there

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in Salamanca town. Salamanca has a huge amount of historical buildings with excellent detail on them. I would highly recommend a visit to this cathedral if you are passing through Salamanca or staying there for a visit. It is located right in the centre of town and you can get very nice photographs. It is within walking distance of all restaurants bars and cafes. I would highly recommend you visit inside the Cathedral. The difference between the old cathedral and new one is very historical. Tickets are 10 per adult.
