<p style=""text-align: justify;"">The construction of the temple took It was carried out between the years 1513 and 1733 and while the new oratory was being built, the faithful continued to go to the old one to pray. For this reason, when the works were completed in the Enlightenment era, the people of Salamanca decided to preserve the ""old"" cathedral that had given them so much use. The truth is that due to the enormous growth of the city promoted by the University, it was necessary to have a larger space for the celebration of worship, which is why they built this > building parallel to the previous one and projecting the new tower over the old one</strong>, 93-meter-high bell tower.</p> <p style=""text-align: justify;""><br />The New Cathedral has a <strong>rectangular floor plan, three naves and a straight head</strong>.
