The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin, popularly called the New Cathedral, is, together with the Old Cathedral, one of the two cathedrals in the city of Salamanca, in Spain. The new cathedral was built, continuing with the late Gothic of its origins, between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, although at the end of the sixteenth the head, designed with a Gothic ambulatory, was changed to a flat one and during the eighteenth two elements were added that they broke in a striking way with the predominant style of the temple: a baroque dome over the transept and the upper sections of the bell tower.
