Church of Santiago de los Caballeros, Zamora, Romanesque church in Zamora, Spain.

The church features a single nave with a semicircular apse, rectangular windows, and two round arches at the entrance portal.

Built during the second half of the 11th century, this religious structure gained prominence as the place where El Cid received his knighthood.

The interior capitals display intricate carvings depicting biblical scenes, including Adam and Eve's expulsion from paradise and representations of hell.

The church opens Friday through Sunday with seasonal schedules, offering free admission and guided tours through the local tourism office.

The triumphal arch inside the church serves as an internal portal, making it the only structure of its kind in Zamora.
