The Old Cathedral of Plasencia, built from the 12th to 13th centuries, is a serene blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles. Now serving as the Cathedral Museum, it houses a notable collection of religious art, including a 15th-century Flemish triptych. The highlight is the beautiful cloister with its pointed arches and the chapter house, which boasts an exquisite Gothic star vault. Visitors can also see the original Romanesque portal.
