Location of Cathedral of Santa María (Ciudad Rodrigo) in Spain

The Cathedral of Santa María (Ciudad Rodrigo) (Spanish: Catedral de Santa María (Ciudad Rodrigo)) is a cathedral located in Ciudad Rodrigo, province of Salamanca, Castile and León, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1889.^[1]

The Renaissance composers Juan Navarro Hispalensis and his pupil Juan Esquivel Barahona were both choirmasters at the cathedral.

Architecture

The cathedral has four doors. In the episciple-side transept, there is a Gothic frieze with twelve figures from the Old Testament and a tympanum in which four Romanesque figures were placed in the Modern Age: from left to right Saint John, Saint Peter, Christ Pantocrator, Saint Paul, and Saint James. In the other transept the Puerta de Amayuelas opens, with a multi-lobed arch.

The tower was raised by Juan de Sagarvinaga at the end of the 18th century in a neoclassical style, after the collapse of the second tower during the Lisbon earthquake (the cathedral had had a third tower, which was demolished after the communal war).
