Churches with the function of \"cathedral\" are usually specific to those Christian denominations with an episcopal hierarchy, such as the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and some Lutheran churches. Church buildings embodying the functions of a cathedral first appeared in Italy, Gaul, Spain, and North Africa in the 4th century, but cathedrals did not become universal within the Western Catholic Church until the 12th century, by which time they had developed architectural forms, institutional structures, and legal identities distinct from parish churches, monastic churches, and episcopal residences. The cathedral is more important in the hierarchy than the church because it is from the cathedral that the bishop governs the area under his or her administrative authority.","wiki_description":"The Catedral de la Asunci\u00f3n de la Virgen, popularly known as New Cathedral is, together with the Old Cathedral, one of the two cathedrals of Salamanca, Castile and Le\u00f3n, Spain. It is the seat of the diocese of Salamanca. It was constructed between 1533 and 1733 mixing late Gothic, Plateresque and Baroque styles. It was commissioned by Ferdinand V of Castile. It is one of the largest cathedrals in Spain in size and its bell tower, at 92 meters high, is also one of the tallest.","day_image":"0ba3da11-4452-40d7-8676-6dc866e42e00","address":"","latitude":40.96055556,"longitude":-5.66583333,"wiki_latitude":40.96055556,"wiki_longitude":-5.66583333,"place_id":"9f725f925317ad34736a98adfcd84736","order":0,"tour_ids":"2923","order_tours":{"2923":0},"colors":["#fa6464"],"posts_title":[{"title":"Free Mysteries & Legends Tour Salamanca","id":2923}]},{"title":"House of Deaths","wiki_title":"","description":"","wiki_description":"","day_image":"a7765120-2474-462a-115a-524a9f3fcf00","address":"14,16, Calle Bordadores, Centro, Salamanca, Castile and Le\u00f3n, 37002, Spain","latitude":40.96592445,"longitude":-5.66635991,"wiki_latitude":0,"wiki_longitude":0,"place_id":"c85418efd4c739221e514606d5328e45","order":0,"tour_ids":"2923","order_tours":{"2923":0},"colors":["#fa6464"],"posts_title":[{"title":"Free Mysteries & Legends Tour Salamanca","id":2923}]},{"title":"University","wiki_title":"University of Salamanca","description":"A university is an institution of higher education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines.

It began toward the end of the Reconquista and was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms and to replace the Medieval Inquisition, which was under papal control. It became the most substantive of the three different manifestations of the wider Catholic Inquisition, along with the Roman Inquisition and the Portuguese Inquisition. The \"Spanish Inquisition\" may be defined broadly as operating in Spain and in all Spanish colonies and territories, which included the Canary Islands, the Kingdom of Naples, and all Spanish possessions in North America and South America. According to modern estimates, around 150,000 people were prosecuted for various offences during the three-century duration of the Spanish Inquisition, of whom between 3,000 and 5,000 were executed, approximately 2.7 percent of all cases. The Inquisition, however, since the creation of the American courts, has never had jurisdiction over the Indians. The King of Spain ordered \"that the inquisitors should never proceed against the Indians, but against the old Christians and their descendants and other persons against whom in these kingdoms of Spain it is customary to proceed\".","wiki_description":"The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition, was established in 1478 by the Catholic Monarchs, King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile.
