Catedral de San Salvador

Low slung but achieving an understated majesty nonetheless, this cathedral is built of light-colored stone and features three finely carved portals. Unusually, the altar is enclosed at the front by an ornate Renaissance reja (filigree screen); another closes off the choir, while an earlier Gothic one, alive with vegetal motifs, screens a rear chapel that was originally the altar. The highlight, though, is the tiny, exquisite two-level Renaissance cloister on the street behind, brought here from a nearby convent in the 1940s.
