Rótulo Catedral Nueva

 
Constructed during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, together with that of Segovia, it offers one of the last manifestations of the Gothic. The luminous height at which sight vanishes when one’s gaze directed at this Cathedral is one of its most striking features.

Outside, the temple profers the splendid organization of the end of the Gothic; the impression of a set is grandiose owing to its elevation and flourishing upward-trending  style with frond-like ornamentation characterizing the main façade and the Puerta del Obispo and the Puerta de San Clemente and the Puerta de Ramos and the Puerta del Crucero  on the north end.

Inside the decoration is rich and elegant. The vault corresponding to the main alter is sumptuously decorated in polychrome. The painting is the work of Juan Montejo. The choir in the main aisle is by Alberto Churriguera. The Plateresque organ was constructed in 1568 by Damián Luis and the Churrigueresque organ dates from 1745. The main alter and different side chapels, such as the Capilla dorada, the Capilla del Sudario, the Capilla de San Roque and the Capilla de la Virgen de la Soledad, among others, are outstanding.
