Good entrance price. And very informative information via headphones in ones own language. Beautiful interior and well worth the visit.

Old Cathedral (Catedral Vieja)

Reviewed By Duquesadiner - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Although we didn’t take the audio tour, there is enough to see by just strolling around the inside of this beautiful church. My advice is to spend a good while on the outside initially, the architecture is simply magnificent, you will spot some strange additions by a few stone masons over the years, the astronaut being a good example. There is a charge to enter but it is worth it. It is very cool inside, a welcome change in temperature on this visit, it was 35 degrees outside. If you look up once inside you might see people walking along what appears to be an inside track on the roof, they have actually come in through the Ieronimus, a separate but attached building. Actually I enjoyed that visit more than the cathedral, due to the great views over the city.

St. Stephen's Convent (Convento de San Esteban)

Reviewed By Craig1961_01 - Middleton, United Kingdom

Having visited the two cathedrals, old and new, we weren’t really expecting anything as spectacular within a few hundred metres of those. Wrong again! This convent has a huge church which in most places would be classed as a cathedral due to its size, splendour and workmanship. It could easily be the most magnificent building in Salamanca on it’s own merits. There are explanations of monastic life around the cloisters and other rooms, but the details of carvings inside and outside this building are second to none in Italy or other great European centres.
