Church of San Pedro y San Ildefonso, Zamora, Medieval religious monument in central Zamora, Spain.
San Pedro y San Ildefonso is a church with a single central nave, ribbed vaults, and a prominent tower designed by Joaquín Churriguera. The structure displays a blend of medieval and Baroque elements in its external appearance.
Construction began in the 11th century under King Ferdinand I of León-Castile and replaced an earlier Visigothic church. The building underwent several transformations over time, with the tower redesigned during the Baroque period.
The church serves as a pilgrimage destination where visitors come to venerate the relics of San Ildefonso and San Atilano, Zamora's first bishop. These two saints remain central to the spiritual life of the surrounding region.
The church is located in Plaza de Fray Diego de Deza and opens on certain days with extended hours on weekends for religious services. Access may be limited when religious ceremonies are taking place, so it helps to check ahead.
The sacristy displays a 16th-century Flemish triptych that was gifted by King Charles I during his 1522 visit. This ornate artwork reflects the church's royal connections and significance in the past.
