Part 3/9:
A short stroll from Plaza Mayor leads to Plaza de Anaya, dominated by the striking architecture of Salamanca's New Cathedral. Originally built in Gothic style over a span of more than 200 years, this cathedral harmoniously incorporates elements of the Renaissance as well.
Next to it stands the Old Cathedral of Santa María de la Sede, a Romanesque marvel believed to have been completed before 1200. The intimate space between the two cathedrals is known as the Patio Chico, a serene area that reflects the architectural brilliance of both structures. The New Cathedral impresses visitors with its ornate façade, embellished with Flemish motifs, while the Old Cathedral boasts intricate altarpieces of significant historical value.
