San Pedro de la Nave

The church features horseshoe-shaped arches supported by robust pillars and contains a central nave taller and wider than its lateral aisles.

Built between 680 and 711 CE during the Visigothic period, the church was relocated stone by stone from 1930 to 1932 due to the Ricobayo reservoir construction.

The interior capitals display detailed biblical scenes, including Daniel in the Lion's Den and The Sacrifice of Abraham, carved in yellow sandstone.

The church stands 22 kilometers northwest of Zamora city, accessible via the N-122 highway and then following the ZA-P-2327 road to El Campillo.

During the relocation process, workers discovered an ancient horologium on the church walls, potentially used as a calendar or prayer schedule indicator.
