The two buildings are joined and you enter from the north side into the New Cathedral, built 16th-18th century. Outside, note the fine Puerta de Ramos, mostly Renaissance but among its saints are an astronaut and an imp clutching an ice-cream cone. The interior is a baroque / Churrigeuresque creation, with fine ceilings, choir and main chapel. A door leads down into the Old Cathedral, 12th century and mostly Romanesque, with many frescoes.
The Catedral de la Asunción de la Virgen, popularly known as New Cathedral is, together with the Old Cathedral, one of the two cathedrals of Salamanca, Castile and León, Spain. It is the seat of the diocese of Salamanca. It was constructed between 1533 and 1733 mixing late Gothic, Plateresque and Baroque styles. It was commissioned by Ferdinand V of Castile. It is one of the largest cathedrals in Spain in size and its bell tower, at 92 meters high, is also one of the tallest.

The best of it is the grand exterior. Many visitors reckon it's not worth paying to see the ostentatious interior and endure the interminable audio guide.
