Church of Santo Tomé, Zamora

The Santo Tomé church features a rectangular nave with a triple flat-apsed head, incorporating a central apse of near-square proportions and external buttresses.

The church dates back to 1200, receiving royal recognition in 1135 when King Alfonso VII donated the building while the Cathedral of Zamora was under construction.

The interior capitals display intricate carvings depicting the Epiphany scene, showing the Virgin with Child and the Three Kings in Romanesque sculptural style.

The building stands in Plaza de Santo Tomé with specific visiting hours from March through September, differing from October through January schedule periods.

Seven different mason marks appear throughout the structure, consisting of simple designs made with one to four strokes, revealing medieval construction techniques.
