I received slides of Salamanca Cathedral from my friend. I did a search and discovered from Snopes that the astronaut is a recent addition in 1992 during restoration work

The person responsible for the restoration, Jeronimo Garcia, reportedly chose an astronaut as a fitting symbol of the twentieth century. According to an article about the restoration, it is a tradition of cathedral builders and restorers to include a contemporary symbol on the building as a means of 'signing' their work.

You can read the full article posted on Snopes at the following link:

I was just reading through the web and I read about this new Salamanca Cathedral, which stands beside the old Cathedral. Now, as these pictures look like, it is the new Cathedral, which was constructed between the 16th - 18th centuries. Was basicly finished nearly in the 19th Century. I’m pretty sure this won’t answer peoples questions, but it might be pretty helpful looking for the New Cathedral of Salamanca, Spain.

Good luck everybody. I’m still looking around.
