About New Cathedral of Salamanca
The New Cathedral is, as one with the Old Cathedral, one of the two houses of prayer of Salamanca, Spain. It was developed between the 16th and 18th century in two styles, late Gothic and Baroque. Building started in 1513 and the house of God was blessed in 1733. It was dispatched by Ferdinand V of Castile of Spain. It was proclaimed a national landmark by regal pronouncement in 1887. The building started when the gothic style was winding up less prevalent and was converging with the new Renaissance style, giving the subsequent Plateresque style in Spain. Be that as it may, this house of prayer held a greater amount of its Gothic character on the grounds that the specialists needed the new church to mix with the bygone one.
In this manner the new house of God was built, proceeding with Gothic style amid the 17th and 18th century. In any case, amid the 18th century, two components were included that broke with the ostentatious shape with the overwhelming style of the building, a Baroque dome on the transept and the last phases of the ringer tower 92 m. The new house of prayer was built without the ensuing devastation of the old basilica as typically occurred yet a mass of the new church building, inclines toward the North mass of the bygone one. Consequently, the old house of God must be strengthened, and the chime tower was built on the former one. Two of the fundamental designers of the house of God were Juan Gil de Hontanon and his child Rodrigo Gil de Hontanon in 1538.
