Touring La Catedral de Salamanca

The charm of Salamanca continues to astound us.  Yesterday we toured the old and new cathedral of Salamanca.  ('old' meaning circa 1400, and 'new' meaning 1600).  The population of Salamanca grew rapidly as the University grew in size and prestige, so the old cathedral quickly became too small.  Since the new one took 200 years to build, in the end they left the two side by side.  Interesting to see the advances in architecture from Romanesque to Gothic styles-- the new cathedral towers above the old one.
