Zamora

The city stretches along the Duero River at 649 meters elevation, containing 24 Romanesque churches from the 12th and 13th centuries across its territory.

Romans established the settlement as Occelum Durii, later becoming a strategic point between the Kingdom of León and Muslim territories during medieval times.

The Cathedral of Zamora displays Romanesque architecture with its stone dome, completed in 23 years and featuring detailed carvings on its exterior walls.

The Municipal Tourist Information Office near the historic center provides maps and guidance for exploring the numerous religious buildings and medieval structures.

The stone bridge spanning the Duero River contains sixteen arches and extends 280 meters in length, connecting the old city with newer districts.
