Church of Santa Marta de Tera, Romanesque church in Camarzana de Tera, Spain.

The Church of Santa Marta de Tera features a Latin cross layout with a single nave divided into three distinct sections and decorated stone capitals.

The structure represents the remaining part of a 10th-century monastery and stands as the earliest church of its type in Zamora province.

The church contains a 12th-century statue of Saint James, which became a reference for Spanish currency designs in 1993.

Visitors can access the church between March and September, with special morning openings during spring and autumn equinoxes.

During equinoxes, sunlight enters through an oculus window to illuminate a carved capital depicting Christ inside the church.
