New Cathedral Description
(Local Name: Catedral Nueva) A narrow street runs round the University buildings to the New Cathedral of Salamanca, the tower of which can be seen from the Patio de las Escuelas. Begun by Juan Gil de Hontañón in 1513, this imposing building was not completed until 1733, and thus shows a mingling of Late Gothic, Plateresque and Baroque features. Particularly rich are the Plateresque doorways, notably the triple west doorway and the north doorway (the Puerta de Ramos), which has a relief of Christ's entry into Jerusalem.
