Summary "Cathedrals of Spain" by John A. Gade is an illustrated architectural account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich history and intricate designs of various cathedrals across Spain, highlighting their significance not only as religious edifices but also as reflections of cultural and historical epochs. Through detailed descriptions, Gade aims to cater to both casual travelers and students of architecture, making the complexities of these magnificent structures accessible and engaging. At the start of the work, Gade presents an overview of Salamanca, emphasizing its unique position as a convergence of various architectural styles, including Romanesque and Gothic. He contrasts the older and smaller cathedral with the grander new cathedral, discussing their differing designs and the historical context behind their construction. The text paints a vivid picture of Salamanca’s landscape and cultural legacy, introducing readers to its storied past influenced by various dynasties and significant figures such as King Alfonso VI. Gade's detailed analysis establishes a foundation for understanding the nuances of Spanish cathedral architecture, inviting readers to appreciate both the aesthetic and historical elements of these remarkable structures.
