Old Cathedral, {CATEGORY}

Adjoining the New Cathedral is this older Spanish Romanesque version, begun in 1140. Its simplicity contrasts dramatically with the ornamentation of its younger but bigger counterpart. In the main apsidal chapel is an altarpiece painted by Nicholas of Florence in the mid-15th century, consisting of 53 beautifully decorated compartments. Even today this work of art remains fresh and vivid. After viewing the interior, stroll through the enclosed cloisters with their Gothic tombs of long-forgotten bishops. The chapels are of special architectural interest. In the Capilla de San Martín, the frescoes date from 1242, and in the Capilla de Santa Bárbara, final exams for Salamanca University students were given. The Capilla de Santa Catalina is noted for its gargoyles.
