Built between 1513 and 1733, the Gothic Cathedral of Salamanca underwent restoration work in 1992. It is generally a tradition of restorers to add details or new carvings to the facade as a sort of signature. After conferring with the cathedral, quarry man Jeronimo added a few modern images to the facade including an astronaut floating among some vines. Among the other recently added images are a dragon eating ice cream, a lynx, a bull and a crayfish. Despite there being clear documentation of the astronaut being a recent addition, this may provide for great confusion some 500 years from now.
