Zamora Castle, a grand fortress in the heart of the town, is a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture. The castle features well-preserved structures such as the Tribute Tower, gates, and moat. It has served various purposes throughout history including as a prison and court of justice. The castle offers free entry to visitors and guided tours that delve into its historical significance. Surrounded by Castle Park, it provides stunning views of the Douro River and the city.
Beautiful and very well preserved walls, we stopped for a quick walk and lunch on our way to another city but did not have a chance to go inside because it was a Monday (it’s closed) keep that in mind if you plan to enter the walls

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.
Jordan B — Google review
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!!

(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) Touring the historic center before reaching the Cathedral, we visited this church steeped in history, and after the Cathedral, it is the largest church. Built on the site of a Visigothic church in the 12th century, it was later renovated and expanded in the 15th century. In the 16th century, it was declared an Archpriestal church. Inside, the remains of Saints Ildefonso and Atilano rest above the High Altar. Declared a National Monument in 1974, the interior is worth seeing and photographing. (Original) Recorriendo el casco histórico antes de llegar a la Catedral visitamos esta iglesia cargada de mucha historia, aparte que después de la Catedral es la iglesia se mayor tamaño. Construida sobre una iglesia visigoda en el S.XII, posteriormente reformada y ampliada en el S. XV. En el S. XVI fue declarada iglesia Arciprestal. En su interior reposan los restos de San Ildefonso y San Atilano sobre el Altar Mayor. Declarada Monumento Nacional en 1974. El interior es digno de ver y fotografiar.

Nestled in a charming square, the Iglesia de Santa María la Nueva is a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture that dates back to the early 12th century. Originally constructed before being destroyed during the Trout Mutiny in 1158, this church was swiftly rebuilt and earned its nickname "la Nueva," meaning "The New One." While its interior may not be particularly striking, visitors can admire the beautifully sculpted column capitals adorning its exterior.

(Translated by Google) It is very beautiful and is very well preserved, especially its exterior. Inside we saw it without benches and with several exposed carvings, of Holy Week and other religious sculptures, very interesting. Admission costs €1, although on holidays and Easter there are days when access is free. (Original) Es muy bonita y se conserva muy bien, sobre todo su exterior.

(Translated by Google) This church is one of the Romanesque style temples that are located in the city, it is precisely in the square of the same name. Built at the beginning of the 12th century, it was burned in 1158 during the Trout Mutiny and rebuilt. It consists of a single, fairly large nave, the result of the fusion of the three primitive naves. It has a main chapel with a straight layout with a semicircular apse. From the outside, its southern doorway with a pointed arch stands out. In 1945 it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest. Inside, the baptismal font from the 13th century stands out. (Original) Esta iglesia es uno de los templos de estilo románico que se ubican en la ciudad, justamente está en la plaza del mismo nombre. Construida a inicios del S.XII, fue quemada en en 1158 durante el motín de la trucha y edificada de nuevo. Consta de una sola nave bastante amplia, resultado de la fusión de las tres naves primitivas. Tiene una capilla mayor de trama recto con ábside de planta semicircular. Del exterior destaca su portada meridional de arco apuntado. En 1945 fue declarada Bien de Interés Cultural. De su interior destaca la pila bautismal del S. XIII

Mirador del Troncoso is a must-visit for breathtaking views of Zamora. A short walk from the cathedral leads to this best viewpoint in town, offering stunning vistas of the Douro River and the Roman Bridge. It's a beautiful spot to savor fresh air and enjoy quiet moments, especially during sunset. Many visitors love to relax here with a bottle of wine while taking in the amazing sights.

Iglesia de Santiago del Burgo is a Romanesque church dating back to the 12th century, featuring three naves and retaining its tripartite head. As you stroll through the narrow cobbled streets towards Plaza Mayor square, you can admire this fine example of Romanesque architecture along with other notable churches like La Magdalena and San Cipriano.
(Translated by Google) When you arrive in a city steeped in Romanesque art, you come to normalize well-preserved beauty, and this is not entirely fair, since, in this case, preserving all this heritage is a great effort on everyone's part. In this case, this church is quite a spectacle and an example of integration of towns, since those constructions that began to be built outside the walls used to be repopulated with people from other areas of Spain. This jewel, according to what they say, is contemporary with the cathedral and, due to its three naves, it is, along with it, the only two that maintain that architectural structure. It is on a street so busy and saturated with stimuli that you even run the risk of not seeing it (it's difficult, to be honest), anyway, it would be better with less hustle and bustle around (Original) Cuando llegas a una ciudad cuajada de románico, llegas a normalizar la belleza bien conservada, y esto no es del todo justo, ya que , en este caso, conservar todo este patrimonio es un gran esfuerzo por parte de todos. En este caso, esta iglesia es todo un espectáculo y un ejemplo de integración de pueblos, ya que, aquellas construcciones que se comenzaron a realizar extramuros solían estar repobladas con personas de otras zonas de España. Esta joya, según comentan, es contemporánea ala catedral y, por sus tres naves, es junto con aquella, las dos únicas que mantienen esa estructura aquitectónica. Está en una calle tan concurrida y saturada de estímulos que hasta corres el riesgo de no verla (es difícil, la verdad), de todos modos, estaría mejor con menos bullicio alrededor

(Translated by Google) Church located in the center of Zamora. Both the "hanging" capital of the door that faces Santa Clara Street, as well as the lobed arches of its other doors, are unique examples of Romanesque architecture. The latter, of clear eastern influence, are reminiscent of those present in the church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. Inside there are capitals of interest. (Original) Iglesia situada en pleno centro de Zamora. Tanto el capitel "colgante" de la puerta que da a la Calle Santa Clara, como los arcos lobulados de sus otras puertas resultan ejemplos únicos de la arquitectura románica. Estos últimos, de clara influencia oriental, recuerdan a los presentes en la iglesia del Santo Sepulcro de Jerusalén. En el interior existen capiteles de interés.

(Translated by Google) Zamora Parador The old palace of the counts of Alba de Aliste is one of the jewels of Zamora and headquarters of the parador since 1968. In addition to being, practically, the only example of a Renaissance palace in a city where Romanesque abounds, it has one of the most humanist patios. beautiful pieces of the Castilian Renaissance. THE BUILDING: The Enríquez, first counts of Alba de Aliste, were ennobled in the mid-15th century by Enrique II and settled in the city around 1505 in this palace, which they expanded between 1512 and 1517. Very shortly after, the palace suffered the consequences of the wars. community members, which forced its first reform. It would not be the last of his misfortunes. In 1653 it suffered a large fire that damaged part of its structure, beginning from then on long periods of abandonment. From the end of the 18th century it was a municipal hospice. The most amazing thing about the palace is the contrast between its facade and the interior. Its surprising military appearance is a Gothic heritage and is marked by its cubic structure topped at the four corners by four projecting towers. The two-story façade is very simple, consisting of a slightly off-center doorway under an alfiz and some openings arranged regularly along the wall whose only decoration is a few alfises, adorned with Gothic leaf litter. Inside, the splendid Renaissance courtyard and staircase are the only elements that have survived from a refined palace that even had a loggia overlooking the Douro. THE ENRÍQUEZ, A CASTILLAN LINEAGE The title of counts of Alba de Aliste was granted in 1459 by Enrique IV to Don Enrique Enríquez (1406-1481), son of the First Admiral of Castile, and his wife Doña María de Guzmán. Although it was his father and brother, the first two admirals of Castile, who have given the most fame to the lineage, Enrique Enríquez, owner of the Zamorano palace, was an important feudal lord in 15th century Castile. Although he began to be faithful to Henry IV, he soon became a supporter of the marriage of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, who had Enriquez blood on his mother's side. So much so that, despite his maturity, he was taken prisoner by the Beltraneja supporters. After his brief imprisonment, he took refuge in his palace in Zamora where he would die shortly after. The commitment of the Enríquez family to the monarchy remained intact with the new monarch, Charles V, during the war of the commoners who came to take and assault their Zamorano palace. Lords of a territory known as Tierra de Alba, they became one of the most powerful families in Castile thanks to their wealth, linked to the Mesta and a network of marital alliances that led them to become related already in the 16th century with the dukes of Alba de Tormes. (Original) Parador de Zamora El antiguo palacio de los condes de Alba de Aliste es una de las joyas de Zamora y sede del parador desde 1968. Además de ser, prácticamente, el único ejemplo de palacio renacentista de una ciudad donde abunda el románico posee uno de los patios humanistas más bellos del renacimiento castellano. EL EDIFICIO: Los Enríquez, primeros condes de Alba de Aliste fueron ennoblecidos a mediados del siglo XV por Enrique II y se instalaron en la ciudad hacia 1505 en este palacio que fueron ampliando entre 1512 y 1517. Muy poco después, el palacio sufrió las consecuencias de las guerras comuneras, lo que forzó a su primera reforma. No sería la última de sus desgracias. En 1653 sufrió un incendio de grandes dimensiones que deterioró parte de su estructura, empezando desde entonces largos periodos de abandono. Desde finales del XVIII fue hospicio municipal. Lo más asombroso del palacio es el contraste entre su fachada y el interior. Su sorprendente apariencia militar es una herencia gótica y viene marcada por su estructura cúbica rematada en las cuatro esquinas por cuatro torres salientes. La fachada, de dos pisos, es muy sencilla constituida por una portada ligeramente descentrada bajo alfiz y unos vanos dispuestos regularmente a lo largo del muro que tienen como única decoración unos alfices, adornados con hojarasca gótica. En el interior, el espléndido patio renacentista y la escalera son los únicos elementos que han sobrevivido de un refinado palacio que incluso tuvo una logia con vistas al Duero. LOS ENRÍQUEZ, UN LINAJE CASTELLANO El título de condes de Alba de Aliste fue concedido en 1459 por Enrique IV a don Enrique Enríquez (1406-1481), hijo del Primer Almirante de Castilla, y a su mujer doña María de Guzmán. Aunque fueron su padre y hermano, los dos primeros almirantes de Castilla, los que más fama han dado al linaje, Enrique Enríquez, dueño del palacio zamorano fue un importante señor feudal en la Castilla del siglo XV. Si bien comenzó mostrándose fiel a Enrique IV, pronto se mostró partidario del matrimonio de Isabel de Castilla y Fernando de Aragón, que tenía sangre Enríquez por vía materna. Tanto que, a pesar de su madurez, fue hecho prisionero por los partidarios de la Beltraneja. Tras su breve prisión se refugió en su palacio de Zamora donde fallecería poco después. El compromiso de los Enríquez con la monarquía  se mantuvo intacto con el nuevo monarca, Carlos V, durante la guerra de los comuneros que llegaron a tomar y asaltar su palacio zamorano. Señores de un territorio conocido como Tierra de Alba, se convirtieron en una de las familias más poderosas de Castilla gracias a su riqueza, vinculada a la Mesta y a una red de alianzas matrimoniales que les llevaron a emparentar ya en el siglo XVI con los duques de Alba de Tormes.

Nestled in the heart of Zamora, the Church of San Vicente is a stunning example of Romanesque architecture that dates back to the late 12th century. Although it has been modified over time, its north, west, and south walls along with its impressive tower remain from the original structure. This tower is often celebrated as one of the finest in Zamora.

This beautiful little church in this historic town is a wonderful find. I was fortunate enough to discover it whilst there was holy communion, being celebrated.

(Translated by Google) In the center of Zamora, next to the Plaza Mayor, almost unnoticed because it is in a square as it becomes a narrow street... with a cozy interior where there are two highly venerated images of the Virgin Mary: Our Mother of Sorrows and Our Lady Lady of San Antolín or La Concha. In addition to an old chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Fátima, an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (to which a novena is dedicated) and a more recent image of the Lord of Miracles, whose worship is in charge of the Peruvian community. The Christ of the Good Death, an exceptional carving, is also venerated. (Original) En el centro de Zamora, junto a la Plaza Mayor, casi desapercibida por encontrarse en una plaza al convertirse en calle estrecha... con un interior acogedor donde se encuentran dos imágenes muy veneradas de la Virgen María: Nuestra Madre de las Angustias y Nuestra Señora de San Antolín o de la Concha. Además de una antigua capilla dedicada a la Virgen de Fátima, una imagen del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús (al que se dedica un novenario) y una imagen más reciente del Señor de los Milagros, de cuyo culto se encarga la comunidad peruana. También se venera el Cristo de la Buena Muerte, una talla excepcional.

The Church of San Juan, also known as de Puerta Nueva, stands in Zamora's Plaza Mayor. Dating back to the 12th century and undergoing renovations in the following centuries, it showcases a mix of Romanesque and Gothic styles. The interior was transformed during the Gothic era with spacious arches replacing original columns and vaults.
Impressive church especially if you appreciate romance architecture. Try to get inside during the day. At night very pretty on the outside with views of the plaza.

(Translated by Google) One of the jewels of the Zamorano Romanesque is this church of San Claudio, in the Olivares neighborhood, outside the medieval enclosure and on the banks of the Duero River. What stands out about this small temple is its extraordinary sculptural decoration. On the outside, the representation of a messenger (the months of the year through the daily activities of each month) that we can see in the interior archivolt is very interesting and unusual. Unfortunately, its state of conservation is not optimal. Inside, we cannot miss the extraordinary capitals that run along the top of the arches of the chevet, true masterpieces of medieval carving. And of course, the image venerated here, the Holy Christ of Amparo, an anonymous work from the 17th century that is processed on Holy Wednesday by one of the most emblematic brotherhoods of Holy Week: the Brotherhood of Penitence, also known as "Las Capas Pardas".

Por desgracia, su estado de conservación no es óptimo. Al interior, no podemos perdernos los extraordinarios capiteles que recorren el arranque de los arcos de la cabecera, verdaderas obras maestras de la talla medieval.

The Catedral de Zamora is a historic church originating from the 12th century, featuring a unique blend of architectural styles including Romanesque and Byzantine. Its location at the intersection of Caminos de Plata and Levanter, along the banks of Duero river adds to its charm. Although not as grandiose as other Spanish cathedrals like Toledo or Salamanca, it offers impressive structures such as chapels, altar and dome-like ceilings inside.
Zamora Cathedral may not be the largest, but it’s one of the most captivating Romanesque buildings in Spain. Its distinctive dome—covered in stone scales—rises gracefully above the crossing, giving the structure a unique and almost mystical presence. Inside, the choir stalls and the revered 'Cristo de las injurias' add depth and solemnity, while the adjoining cloister leads to a small museum with exquisite medieval tapestries. A true highlight is the nighttime tour, Aromas de Fe, which offers a completely different perspective. The cathedral is lit with warm, dramatic lighting that transforms its stonework and spaces into something intimate and almost theatrical. These visits take place on Saturday nights, are limited to small groups, and last about an hour. However, the experience comes at a premium—night tickets cost roughly double the daytime entrance.

Although it is not in the class of the great cathedrals of Spain such as Toledo, Salamanca and Leon it is still well worth a visit. Located along the banks of the Duero and where the Caminos de Plata and Levanter meet, this 12th Century Romanesque construction was completed in an astonishing 27 years. It boasts some particularly attractive structures including its altar, chapels and domelike ceilings (pictures included).

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!

(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.

(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.

(Translated by Google) The church of Santa María Magdalena, in my opinion, is another of the essential visits in Zamora, as almost all ecclesiastical architecture is also in the Romanesque style, although later styles can be seen, perhaps from remodeling or from a construction that lasted over time.

San Isidoro Church, a Romanesque monument in Zamora, Spain, is a must-visit. Founded by Sancha, sister of Alfonso VII, it's located within the city's first walled enclosure. The church is situated in a unique setting - the castle gardens - and is particularly worth visiting during the nine days leading up to July 16th for the Carmen celebration.
(Translated by Google) Romanesque church in the area of ​​“El Castillo”, near the well-known “Puerta de la Traicion”, today called “Puerta de la Loyalty”. It deserves an exterior visit and an interior look. The square of San Isidoro.

Its interior retains its original style almost intact, including capitals, corbels, and stonemason's marks. (Original) Erigida en el s.

(Translated by Google) 12th century The church of San Isidoro is also known as Carmen del Castillo, since it has been the headquarters of this brotherhood since 1688. Located next to the Castle and the Gate of Treason (now Gate of Loyalty), it was built in the 12th century and its construction is attributed to Doña Sancha, daughter of Don Alfonso, as a reason to commemorate the passage through Zamora of the relics of San Isidoro of Seville on their transfer to León. (Original) Siglo XII La iglesia de San Isidoro también es conocida como el Carmen del Castillo, ya que es sede de esta cofradía desde 1688. Ubicada junto al Castillo y la Puerta de la Traición (ahora de la Lealtad) se levantó en el siglo XII siendo su construcción atribuida a Doña Sancha, hija de don Alfonso, como motivo de la conmemoración del paso por Zamora de las reliquias de San Isidoro de Sevilla en su traslado a León.

(Translated by Google) One more Romanesque church among the enormous number found in the city of Zamora. In this one in particular, the strange apse, so to speak, of a style much later than that of the church itself would stand out. I would describe it as "extemporaneous nonsense", which is what I mean, but the Church has doctors. (Original) Una iglesia románica más entre la enorme cantidad que se encuentran en la ciudad de Zamora. En ésta en concreto destacaría, el extraño ábside, por llamarlo de alguna manera, de estilo muy posterior al de la propia iglesia.

(Translated by Google) It seems that a church existed at the end of the 11th century, as evidenced by an inscription from 1093. This building fell into ruin, and the current one was built using some materials from the previous building, which has also been remodeled several times throughout its history. According to some experts, part of the north wall, the main chapel, the Gospel chapel, and the entrance to the Epistle Chapel date back to the late 11th century. On the south façade, dating from the mid-12th century, there is a simple doorway formed by three semicircular archivolts. The tower also rises on this side, possibly serving as an ancient defensive watchtower on the old wall. Numerous pieces from the original temple are preserved on this south wall, such as a siren, a blacksmith named Bermudo working on an anvil, Saint Peter with a bonnet and the corresponding key, a chrismon, a seven-headed monster, and the scene of Daniel in the lions' den. The exterior decoration is complemented by the usual modillions with human figures and remains of the checkered pattern on the eaves. The old basilica floor plan was replaced by a single nave. It has several interesting capitals, depicting biblical scenes (Adoration of the Magi, Expulsion from Paradise, Massacre of the Innocents) or plant motifs. It has been a National Monument since 1931. (Original) Parece que existió una iglesia a finales del siglo XI, como demuestra una inscripción de 1093, este edificio se arruinaría y se construiría el actual aprovechando algunos materiales del anterior edificio, el cual también ha sido diversas veces remodelado a lo largo de su historia. Según algunos expertos parte del muro norte, la capilla mayor,la capilla del evangelio y el ingreso a la epístola pertenecerían a finales del siglo XI. En la fachada sur, de mediados del siglo XII, se encuentra una portada sencilla formada por tres arquivolta semicirculares. En este costado se levanta también la torre, la cual es posible que fuese una antigua atalaya defensiva en la antigua muralla. En este muro sur se conservan numerosas piezas del templo primitivo como una sirena, un herrero llamado Bermudo trabajando sobre un yunque, San Pedro con bonete y la correspondiente llave, un crismón, un monstruo de siete cabezas y la escena de Daniel en el foso de los leones. La decoración exterior se complementa con los habituales modillones con figuras humanas y restos del ajedrezado en el alero. La antigua planta basilical fue sustituida por una sola nave. Cuenta con varios capiteles interesantes, los temas que estos representan son escenas bíblicas (adoración de los Reyes, expulsión del paraíso, matanza de los inocentes), o temas vegetales. Es Monumento Nacional desde 1931.

(Translated by Google) From the beginning of the 12th century, it is probably one of the oldest churches in the city. The reliefs embedded in windows and walls attract attention. A wonderful set that is well worth the visit, which is free. If the exterior attracts attention, there is no shortage of corners inside. With remains of polychrome that bring us closer to the magnificence that these places must have had in the past.
