An amazing fortress with views into the countryside is stunning. I’m really surprised entrance is free. I shouldn’t be given the fact that that a lot of European money was invested into the structure. Still an amazing gift to tourist and pilgrims of Zamora.

Fascinating visit to a castle very much altered over the ages. The visit was made much more interesting by the young man on the gate who went out of his way to explain the history and in English too. Many thanks.

Beautifully preserved castle with incredible views of the city. This is a free experience and the man working at the front was extremely knowledgeable about the castle and it's history.

An incredible piece of medieval architecture. Unfortunately, when I arrived, they were just closing, but I believe access into the castle and viewing its interiors and parapets is free. The views from the castle and surrounding Park are amazing. There was a festival on almost I was there and many food and beverage stalls and lots of people enjoying the sun and the music. There was also a a mobile bathroom facility, which was great. It seems in Spain that public bathrooms are not supported or supplied so finding one is a real boon.

The Castle of Zamora is an 11th-century medieval fortress located next to the Cathedral in the old town. It played a key role in the defense of the Kingdom of León and still preserves parts of its original structure, including walls and the Keep Tower. From the top, visitors can enjoy great views of the Duero River and the city. Entrance is free, making it a perfect quick stop while exploring the historic center.

Historical & Medieval Castle This is a great castle beautiful and well preserved. This is the real Spain, this castle shows how in the past centuries you had to protect yourself against invaders and make sure your walls were strong and thick. Now it is easily accessible to visit and his well preserved. We really enjoyed the visit!

We went there quite spontaneously and had the big luck of seeing a free little introductory presentation about the castle, the city and its history from the guard there. The ruins are very interesting and you could see the passion the guard had for history and his town! Lovely visit, would absolutely recommend!!

Very beautiful I am recommending it

Beautifully restored building...

Spiritual and healing

(Translated by Google) Located in the heart of the historic center, the Church of San Pedro y San Ildefonso is one of the oldest and most important in Zamora. Its origins date back to the 10th century, although the current building is largely Romanesque from the 11th and 12th centuries, with later renovations in the Gothic and Baroque styles. According to tradition, this is the burial place of Saint Ildefonso and Saint Atilano, patron saints of the diocese. The church stands out for its sober Romanesque façade, twin towers, and serene atmosphere that invites spiritual contemplation. 🌿⛪ (Original) Situada no coração do centro histórico, a Igreja de San Pedro y San Ildefonso é uma das mais antigas e importantes de Zamora. A sua origem remonta ao século X, embora o edifício atual seja maioritariamente românico dos séculos XI–XII, com reformas posteriores em estilo gótico e barroco. Segundo a tradição, neste local teriam sido sepultados São Ildefonso e São Atilano, padroeiros da diocese. A igreja destaca-se pela sua fachada românica sóbria, pelas torres gémeas e pelo ambiente sereno que convida à contemplação espiritual. 🌿⛪

(Translated by Google) It began to be built in the first half of the 12th century. The first dedication to San Pedro was later added to that of San Ildefonso when his remains were found and moved to this church where his grave is located. It has the rank of archpriest church. At first it had three naves but subsequent renovations left it with only one. Inside it is very pretty and has a small museum. (Original) Se empezó a construir en la primera mitad del siglo XII, a la primera advocación de San Pedro posteriormente se le añadió la de San Ildefonso cuando se hallaron sus restos y se trasladaron a está iglesia en la que se encuentra su sepultura. Tiene rango de iglesia arciprestal. Al principio tuvo tres naves pero posteriores reformas que quedó solo con una. Por dentro es muy bonita y tiene un pequeño museo.

(Translated by Google) One of the many Romanesque churches in Zamora, within the old town (Original) Una de les moltes esglésies romániques de Zamora, dins el casc antic

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church, one of the best in the city, the entrance fee is €1, inside lie the remains of Saint Ildefonso who were buried in 1476 (Original) Preciosa iglesia, de las mejores de la ciudad, la entrada es de 1€, dentro de ella yacen los restos de San Ildefonso que fueron enterrados en 1476

Pretty well. The scenery of the nature are wonderful. It's a place of peaceful ❣️❣️❣️

This old Roman bridge is a must see. Even it many tourist are here you can see many pilgrims, coming from seville and heading for Santiago de Compostela coming over this bridge. With about 2000 years it's gonna be one of the oldest buildings you'll probably Walt on. Jus imagine how long people walk over this bridge. With the public parks I. The middle, a really nice place to enjoy the Spanish sun.

Take a walk over the bridge anytime of the day and see great views of Zamora cathedral. Stroll around the river for a quiet moment.

Beautiful place to take pictures, specially on sunsets. It's a great place to do some exercise too 😉😉

Impressive stone bridge over Duero river. Images of procession on Passion Saturday.

As with majority of well preserved Roman structures they are grand designs and worth visiting.

Lovely bridge with great views over the old town and cathedral.

After many years I finally got the opportunity to travel from Ireland to Zamora to visit El Museo Baltasar Lobo. It was an enormous pleasure to be able to see and indeed touch so many masterpieces of this great artist but the museum itself left me feeling disappointed and frustrated. There was little information, and no bookshop on offer. My wife and I wanted to view the floor, were the receptionist was sitting, which contained many more of the artists works, but we were refused access without explanation. My wife also wanted to use the public bathroom but likewise she was told that this was off limits again without explanation. While I was on the upper floor of the exhibition a man entered the museum and started to converse incredibly loudly and swear with the receptionist who clearly knew him. This continued to the point where I had to go downstairs and ask them please to be quiet as it was impossible to enjoy the museum with this nonsense. I have travelled the world visiting museums and this was the first time I have ever had to ask actual employees of a cultural establishment to show a minimum of courtesy to their visitors. The only reason I know of the existence of Zamora is thanks to the genius of Baltasar Lobo. The employees who owe their livelihoods to their great erstwhile compatriot should show his art and the people who travel the world to experience it more respect.

Cozy and charming museum full of special pieces. The sculptures about maternity are particularly astonishing. A precious collection and an opportunity to learn about the work of this talented Spanish artist, almost unknown in his homeland, since he had to go into exile due to the Civil War.

(Translated by Google) A perfect exhibition to learn about this sculptor from Zamora. Featuring his most important works. It was a bit warm in the museum, but since it's not very large, it was easy to see. (Original) Una exposición perfecta para conocer a este escultor zamorano. Con sus obras más importantes. Hacia un poco de calor en el museo pero como no es muy grande se veía bien.

(Translated by Google) The museum, inaugurated in 2007, is housed in the Casa de los Gigantes and collects a large part of the work of the Zamorano artist. It has two floors with various materials such as drawings, paintings, photographs, work utensils and many of his works. Admission is free and there are toilets. (Original) El museo inaugurado en el año 2.007 se aloja en la Casa de los Gigantes y recoge gran parte de la obra del artista zamorano, tiene dos plantas con diverso material como dibujos, pinturas, fotografías, utensilios de trabajo y muchas de sus obras. La entrada es gratuita y cuenta con aseos.

(Translated by Google) Essential museum to know who was this great unknown (for me at least) who came to exhibit with Matisse, Picasso... the photos are not able to express how impressive the pieces are or how well they have adapted the building to highlight them. As a bad mother that one is, its great leitmotif, motherhood, has moved me 🥹 (Original) Museo imprescindible para saber quién era este grandísimo desconocido (para mí al menos) que llegó a exponer con Matisse, Picasso ... las fotos no son capaces de expresar lo impresionante que son las piezas ni lo bien que han adaptado el edificio para resaltarlas. Como buena malamadre que uno es, su gran leitmotiv, la maternidad, me ha emocionado 🥹

(Translated by Google) It pays tribute to the Zamora-born sculptor Baltasar Lobo (1910–1993) and is located in the “House of Giants” / Castillo Art Center. It houses more than fifty of the artist's sculptures, drawings, photographs, and tools, with particular emphasis on his series of maternity, torsos, and stylized visions of the human body. It is free and accessible to the public with hours that vary between winter and summer, closed on Mondays. It offers an organized tour that allows us to appreciate both his creative evolution and his connection with exile, modernity, and the female body. (Original) Rinde homenaje al escultor zamorano Baltasar Lobo (1910-1993) y se halla en la “Casa de los Gigantes” / Castillo Centro de Arte; alberga más de medio centenar de esculturas, dibujos, fotografías y útiles de trabajo del artista, con especial peso en sus series de maternidades, torsos y visiones estilizadas del cuerpo humano. Es gratuito, accesible al público con horario que varía entre invierno y verano, cerrado los lunes, y ofrece un recorrido ordenado que permite apreciar tanto su evolución creativa como su vinculación con el exilio, la modernidad y la figura del cuerpo femenino.

(Translated by Google) This museum is well worth a visit, except that, in violation of regulations, they do not provide access to the restrooms. They're closed, the restrooms are in terrible condition, and they send you to four portable toilets that haven't been cleaned since Roman times. Is it because there's no cleaning staff? This isn't the visitor's problem; they need to reconsider this. (Original) Museo que merece mucho la pena salvo que saltándose la normativa NO proporcionan acceso a los baños. Están cerrados, los baños están fiera, y te mandan a cuatro baños portátiles que no se limpian desde la época romana.¿Es porque no hay personal de limpieza? No es problema del usuario, deben replantearse esto.

(Translated by Google) One of the Romanesque churches that you have to visit, entrance €1, it does not have altarpieces inside, it has a tomb, the carving is magnificent and a reclining Christ in wood by an artist from Zamora is very beautiful, a carving of the Virgin of La Salud and as a curiosity a well to extract water, it was not necessary to go near the river, it is worth a visit (Original) Una de las iglesias románicas que hay que visitar, entrada 1€, no cuenta con retablos en su interior tiene ,un sepulcro la talla es magnífica y un cristo yacente en madera de un artista de Zamora es muy bonito, una talla de la virgen de la Salud y como curiosidad un pozo para extraer agua, no hacía falta acercarse al río, merece la pena su visita

(Translated by Google) The Church of Santa María Magdalena is a stunning example of Gothic architecture in León. Its façade, with carefully sculpted details, conveys solemnity and elegance, while the interior surprises with high ceilings, pointed arches, and chapels steeped in history and religious art. Strolling through the church allows you to feel the spirituality of the place and appreciate the dedication of the artisans who worked on every detail. Furthermore, its location in the historic center makes it a perfect spot to combine your visit with other monuments in the city. (Original) La Iglesia de Santa María Magdalena es un ejemplo impresionante de arquitectura gótica en León.

Además, su ubicación en el casco histórico hace que sea un punto perfecto para combinar la visita con otros monumentos de la ciudad.

(Translated by Google) The Church of Santa Maria Magdalena, dating from the 12th century, belonged to the Order of Malta until the 19th century. It is one of the most beautiful Romanesque churches in Zamora. It has a single nave and a semicircular apse. Inside, a magnificent Romanesque tomb of an unknown lady stands out, as do the 12th-century baldachins or tabernacles. The southern portal is particularly striking, adorned with vegetal decoration representing the celestial paradise. Legend has it that if you don't see the carved bishop on the portal, you won't get married. Maria Jesús provided excellent service. (Original) La Iglesia de Santa Maria Magdalena, del siglo XII. Perteneció a la Orden de Malta, hasta el siglo XIX. Es una de las más bellas del románico de Zamora. Tiene una sola nave y con un ábside semicircular.

Resalta su portada meridional con una decoración vegetal que representa el paraíso celestial. Hay una leyenda, que si no ves al obispo labrado de la portada, no te casas. Muy buena atención de Maria Jesús.

The carved capitals and columns are especially notable. An essential visit for any lover of history and architecture.

(Translated by Google) The Church of Santa María Magdalena is one of the most interesting Romanesque churches in Zamora. According to various studies, this church is associated with the Hospitallers and the Templars, and it must have also belonged to the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem until the 19th century. The elegance of its lines and purity of form give it incredible perfection. It is one of the most beautiful churches in the city and was built by the architect Giral Fruchel, known for works such as the Cathedral of Ávila. The Church of Santa María Magdalena was built in two phases: in the first, the entire nave was vaulted, and in the second, after the vault collapsed, the upper part of the south wall was rebuilt, hence the almost Gothic windows and the wooden covering of the nave. It is a single-nave church with a tower at the foot and a semicircular chancel that houses the main chapel. Its interior, like the entire church, is notable for its elegance and sense of ascension. Of particular note is a Romanesque tomb of an unknown lady attributed to Queen Urraca of Portugal, the first wife of Ferdinand II. Her recumbent figure is embedded in the wall with two angels carrying her soul to paradise, a symbol of the building, and two tabernacles embedded in the front corners of the nave and covered with a barrel vault. Inside, the lack of altarpieces is striking. The elevation features a first section with 12th-century canopies or tabernacles and a second section with columns and corbels. Most of the ceiling is made of wood, except for the chancel, whose vault features reinforcing ribs. Noteworthy are its chancel, sectioned externally by columns, windows, and imposts, and its two magnificent doorways. Southern Doorway The south doorway has plant decorations depicting heavenly paradise. The other doorways are more austere. The northern part has been modified over the centuries. As for the decoration, the north and west doors are decorated with plants. The south door is the most striking, with its varied iconography. Interestingly, the Church of Maria Magdalena has a popular legend that if you don't see the bishop carved on its south door, you won't get married. It has held the highest monumental designation since 1910, and its preservation is excellent. (Original) La Iglesia de Santa María Magdalena es una de las más interesantes del Románico de Zamora. Según diversas investigaciones, este templo se relaciona con los Hospitalarios, los Templarios y también debió pertenecer a la Orden de San Juan de Jerusalén hasta el siglo XIX. La elegancia en sus líneas y la pureza de formas hacen que tenga una perfección increíble. Es una de las más bellas iglesias de la ciudad y su construcción se debe al arquitecto Giral Fruchel, conocido por obras como la Catedral de Ávila. La Iglesia de Santa María Magdalena se construyó en dos fases: en la primera se abovedó toda la nave y en la segunda, tras el derrumbe de la bóveda, se rehizo la parte superior del muro sur, de ahí las ventanas casi góticas y la cubrición de la nave con madera. Se trata de un templo de una única nave que cuenta con una torre a los pies y con un cabecero semicircular que alberga la capilla mayor. Su interior, como todo el templo, destaca por su elegancia y sentido ascensional. Destaca un sepulcro románico de una dama desconocida que se atribuye a la reina Doña Urraca de Portugal, primera mujer de Fernando II, cuya figura yacente aparece empotrada en el muro con dos ángeles que llevan su alma al paraíso, todo un símbolo del edificio y dos tabernáculos incrustados en los ángulos delanteros de la nave y cubiertos con bóveda de cañón. En el interior es llamativa la falta de retablos. En el alzado, se encuentra un primer cuerpo con baldaquinos o tabernáculos del siglo XII y un segundo cuerpo con columnas y remate de canecillos. La mayor parte de la cubierta es de madera, a excepción de la cabecera, en cuya bóveda se encuentran nervios de refuerzo. Destaca su cabecera seccionada exteriormente por columnas, ventanales e impostas y por sus dos magníficas portadas. Portada Meridional La portada meridional tiene una decoración vegetal que representan el paraíso celestial. Las demás portadas son más austeras. La parte septentrional fue modificada a lo largo de los siglos. En cuanto a la decoración, la de las puertas norte y oeste es vegetal. La puerta del sur es la más llamativa con una variada iconografía. Como curiosidad se dice que la iglesia de Maria Magdalena tiene la leyenda popular en la que si no ves al obispo labrado en su puerta meridional no te casas. Cuenta desde el año 1910 con la máxima calificación monumental y su conservación es inmejorable.

(Translated by Google) It was built between the 12th and 13th centuries in two periods, the first in Romanesque style and the second in Gothic style. It has a single nave with a basilica plan. It has three covers, highlighting the southern one, and its late Romanesque tomb with a recumbent female figure also stands out. It is declared a National Monument. (Original) Se construyó entre los siglos XII y XIII en dos periodos el primero de estilo románico y el segundo gótico. Es de una sola nave con planta basilical. Cuenta con tres portadas destacando la meridional, también destaca su sepulcro tardorromanico con una figura yacente femenina. Está declarada monumento Nacional.

(Translated by Google) It is a Romanesque temple from the 12th and 13th centuries, attributed to the architect Giral Fruchel, with a very high single nave, a basilica plan, and a southern portal exquisitely decorated with plant motifs, multi-lobed arches, and human faces that reflect its medieval beauty. Its exterior is currently undergoing authorized renovations that include restoration of the roofs and improvements to the north and east facades to preserve its structure and artistic value. (Original) Es un templo románico de los siglos XII-XIII, atribuida al arquitecto Giral Fruchel, de nave única muy alta con planta basilical y una portada meridional exquisitamente decorada con motivos vegetales, arcos polilobulados y rostros humanos que reflejan su belleza medieval; actualmente su exterior está en reformas autorizadas que incluyen restauración de las cubiertas y mejoras en las fachadas norte y este para preservar su estructura y valor artístico.

Food was good and prices were not bad. Our hostess seemed to be in a bad mood, as I was trying to use a translator to understand the menu before ordering. The second person who came out at the end checked up on us and was cheerful, so maybe the first person was having a bad day. Good location, but until we sat down, no one else was going there like the other place next door. I normally capture pictures of the menu, prices and food, but the initial five minutes were a bit rough.

We took the menu of the day for lunch and got 3 great courses for only 15 euros! It is a great place for an awesome meal in Zamora.

Gorgeous food and great service in a lovely setting.

We came for an exceptionally late lunch at 3:30 and the waiter was not nice - I get it, end of shift as they close at 5pm, but we got the daily special and had to ask several times for the aqua that’s included. I’m sorry my Spanish sucks, I tried, but no need to be rude to us!

Restaurant with a very bad service, the waiters are not polite. If you want to feel like your money is value don't go to this restaurant unless you like to be mistreated

Great food and good service at a reasonable price. All in all a very nice experience. Will definitely visit again!

Went for lunch today and unfortunately it was not good at all. Pizza was under cooked, the base tasted like it wasn’t homemade. Lasagne was too salty. Steak was cooked well but the meat was off!

Quality food and proper service. Their meat selection is premium. The service is sharp and efficient. We found a disconnection between the firsts (fancy and fusion) and the mains (very traditional). Somehow we felt we ate at two very different restaurants. The size of some of the dirt courses is also questionable. Nevertheless we had a good meal and this is a recommended place.

What a great find. The bar is great, buzzing, full of life. The tapas are great.

What a great little town and what a fabulous place to eat. Some of the best food we had in Spain was from here. The staff was great and the locals lovely. I would have loved an extra day in Zamora just to eat here again.

There are two types of "menu" in the same establishment: one is tapas served in the terrace and second is the restaurant. So the second one is a great experience, well served and with a lot of taste. The dessert was exceptional ( recommended by the chef). Highly recommended.

Very authentic taverna and restaurant in the plaza mayor of Zamora. Delicious tapas and full a la carte menu elaborated with local fresh products and creative style. Excellent jamón and a wide range of delicious wines. Spacious terrace overlooking the San Juan church. A must visit for any food lover traveling to Zamora.

Underwhelming. Relatively slow service and one of the younger waiters looked like out of the element. Food had a great effort put on presentation but lacking in the essence: taste. One slice of a potato as a side is q bit ridiculous! Duck magnet was very basic. Which we has the opportunity to go for the tapas but the waiters refused to serve different food depending on which side of the room you are on. Shame! Tapas menu looked very interesting!

Great duck magret toastie, wine and everything else in a lovely place in the city centre.

Good food but a bit pricey. I recommend the tomato salad. The cheese player is just one kind and too expensive for what it is. If order wine by the glass be more specific with what kind.

Very good local food. Zamburinas awsome.

Impressive meal. We accepted waiter recommendations, and it was a hit. Season mushroom, and "chuleta de Aliste". Everything was exquisite. It could be a bit pricey for Zamora's residents, but not for other places and cities. It's worth every euro. We'll come back to this place.

Kitchen closed at 4. "Racions" only. Ok but very expensive .

Don’t know if this place has closed down or not. Emailed them, twice, no reply. Telephoned no answer. Very annoying.

Great food, friendly and helpful staff.

One of the best products and home/traditional cooking

Excellent bar for food and tapas, staff very kind and available. Highly recommended if you are in Zamora! The cheesecake with Zamora’s cheese: amazing!

Close (350m) to AC Hotel Zamora (by Marriott). Smooth & personal service by two very friendly ladies. Great food, especially noteworthy the aubergine with teriyaki sauce and the tuna tartar (outstanding).

Very good place, amazing vegan options, and very nice staff , lovely people.

This restaurant is an absolute hidden gem, a fantastic combination of traditional Zamoran food with some Asian influence. This quality-price is uncomparable, very difficult to find these days. Highly recommended!

We were lucky to get in here (there was a problem with the booking we made en route from Vitoria Gasteiz in October). The food, staff and atmosphere were great. But for the first time in years I got cheated at the end with the pay in sterling scam. Checking the credit card slip (which I could not make out in low lighting at the time) shows that they converted the bill to sterling without permission, with a scandalous 9.51% stated markup. They even had the cheek to print "I accept the conversion rate, mark-up and final ... amount". They cheated us by £6.27 vs what I ALWAYS CHOOSE when offered a choice - pay in local currency. That's a 14% scam vs the rate if I'd been allowed to pay €s. That said, it was still not expensive compared with, say, Seville.

The food was spectacular and Daniel provided great service.

The best ribs! The waiting staff was helpful and gave great wine advice. Try the cheesecake. Incredible!

Beautiful place, great service, quality food. Not necessarily the cheapest (4 people about 100€) but it's worth it. They even offer some roasted veggies if you're vegan or vegetarian.

Love this place. Definitely worth a trip. The chuletillas and the chuleta are delicious.

Great place. Excellent food, perfectly grilled and seasoned. Nice and attentive service. A must-go in Zamora.

Was here on a Weds night. It was closed. 👉 Enclosed hours and menu

Lovely food and nice staff.

Excellent grill restaurant

Way!!!!
