Church of San Esteban, Zamora

The Church of San Esteban presents a northern doorway with triple archivolt, decorated capitals featuring geometric patterns, and a prominent rose window in its gable.

Originally constructed in the 12th century, the church underwent major modifications in the 20th century when its southern nave and tower suffered structural damage.

The interior contains Romanesque capitals that display plant motifs, zoomorphic figures, and anthropomorphic designs across pillars and columns throughout the structure.

The church opens its doors exclusively during religious services, with no set visiting hours or guided tours available to the general public.

The temple houses the 12th-century Virgen del Villar statue and a 16th-century Christ figure with a hanging arm from the former Monastery of Valparaiso.
