Abstract
Like many of the Spanish cathedrals with mediaeval origins, that of Ciudad Rodrigo went through a period of important architectural changes in the second half of the 18th century, especially between 1761 and 1792, under the direction of Juan de Sagarbinaga. This study will focus on the analysis of the lesser known and valued changes made during that time, leaving aside (since it has already been studied in great detail) the classicist renovation carried out on the Cathedral's western side, both on the outside, with the western door and the tower, and on the inside, with the retrochoir and the reredos of the Eleven Thousand Virgins and of San Benito.
