Part 4/9:
Salamanca's architecture doesn’t just display one style but is an amalgamation of various influences, with the Plateresque style taking center stage. Characterized by elaborate reliefs and a blend of Gothic and Renaissance aesthetics, this style is seen in many buildings across the city.
From the flamboyant Gothic façade of the New Cathedral to the intricate details in the altarpiece of the Old Cathedral, the Plateresque style underlines the decorative richness of the period while often prioritizing ornamentation over structural emphasis.
