Church of San Cipriano, Zamora, Romanesque church in central Zamora, Spain

The church features a triple square apse with original southern door and detailed capitals, displaying exceptional medieval stone craftsmanship throughout its structure.

Dating from the late 11th century, San Cipriano underwent substantial reconstructions in 1157 and received additional modifications during the 13th, 14th, and 18th centuries.

The interior capitals depict biblical narratives including the Adoration of the Magi and the Expulsion from Paradise through intricate stone carvings.

Located in San Cipriano Square, the church maintains different visiting schedules between October-January and March-September for public access.

The southern elevation contains carved figures of a mermaid, a blacksmith named Bermudo, Saint Peter, and Daniel among lions integrated into the wall.
