Cathedral of Zamora, Romanesque cathedral in Zamora, Spain

The Cathedral features three naves with a Latin cross layout, pointed barrel vaults in the transept arms, and simple cross vaults in the central section.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1151 during the reign of Alfonso VII of Leon, with consecration ceremonies taking place twenty-three years later.

The Bishop's Door on the southern facade represents one of the three original Romanesque entrances and contains exceptional sculptural artistry from the period.

The Cathedral Museum holds a collection of tapestries, with access through a prominent staircase located within the cloister complex.

The Byzantine-influenced dome features stone scales and sixteen windowed drum sections, crowned by both an internal semicircular vault and external pointed cupola.
