EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking photograph captures the awe-inspiring New Cathedral of Salamanca, a architectural marvel located in the heart of the historic city in Spain's Castile and Leon region. Constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries, the cathedral is a stunning fusion of Gothic and Baroque styles, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region during the Middle Ages. The most striking feature of the New Cathedral is its magnificent Sart Rib Vault, a complex and intricately designed system of barrel and ribbed vaults that forms the cathedral's main dome. The vault's cimborrio, or central dome, is a true engineering feat, reaching a height of over 100 meters and providing an impressive interior space filled with natural light. The New Cathedral's exterior is equally impressive, with its ornate facades adorned with intricate carvings, gargoyles, and statues. The Plaza Mayor, a bustling city square, lies at the foot of the cathedral, adding to its grandeur and making it a popular tourist destination. Stepping inside the New Cathedral, visitors are transported back in time to the Middle Ages, surrounded by the intricate details and magnificent craftsmanship of the cathedral's interior. The cathedral's history is deeply intertwined with the history of Salamanca and Spain, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in medieval architecture and art.
