Catedral de Zamora

This is a beautifully preserved, ancient cathedral that hosts a myriad of fascinating pieces of art in its small interior. Opened in 1174, it is a wonderful example of Romanesque architecture in Spain. Although it includes important changes from the 16th century, you can feel the antiquity of this church as you walk about in its interior.

It is, however, most recognised from its exterior appearance. The cathedral overlooks the Duero river, and its bell tower and dome have become inseparable symbols of the town of Zamora.

Its location, at the end of the historical downtown, invites visitors to walk through the city before arriving to it. We paid no entry fee, it was actually quite warm inside despite a freezing day outside, and there were available leaflets with some handy information.

Definitely, a must-see visit if you pass by Zamora!

Nice cathedral to visit the entrance is quite expensive for 5 euro person but all in all very good

Zamora is a city in Castile and Leon, Spain, it lies on a rocky hill in the northwest, near the frontier with Portugal and crossed by the Douro river, which is some 50 kilometres downstream as it reaches the Portuguese border. With its 24
Characteristic Romanesque style churches of the 12th and 13th centuries it has been called a "museum of Romanesque art". Zamora is the city with the most Romanesque churches in all of Europe.

I hesitated a lot before paying €2 (concession rate) but am really glad I did. Upstairs is a wonderful collection of tapestry, some over 500 years old. A qr code on your ticket gives access to a commentary in many languages, the English was by a native speaker. Photos allowed but not for public view so none posted.

Avila a well preserved and historic city with a wall for the ages.

Zamora, a quiet and relaxing place, full of rivers, birds and waterfalls, with friendly and sincere people, recommended for travelers.
