  • Yes this is not a hoax, like two other comments below have already stated. This is the work of the architect who was commissioned to restore the cathedral. Also, the cathedral you show here was built much later than the 12th century. It was built in the 16 century, thus it is commonly known as "The New Cathedral". The one built in the 12 th century in therefore known as "The Old Cathedral; and it is found directly adjacent to the one you show here.

  • so aliens built the salamanca cathedral and they know how to construct a church with gothic elements and baroque finishing awesome

  • According to the Urban Legends site, the astronaut was carved in 1992, and they even supply the name of the artisan.

    Also, there are two cathedrals in Salamanca, and this is not the one started in 1101. It's much later.

  • It's not a hoax...

    There is however a simple explanation... These cathedrals are restored at certain times over the years... The person doing the restoration work usually "signs" his work by adding a small figure somewhere. The most recent restoration of this cathedral was done during the 60's - 70's of the last century, thus the adding of the astronaut figure! Man had just recently gone to the moon!
