Zamora

Description

Zamora is a small and quiet town of 65,000 inhabitants located in the southeast of the province. The town of Zamora lies on a rocky hill in the northwest of Spain, near the frontier with Portugal and is crossed by the Douro river (río Duero). Zamora is the city with the highest concentration of Romanesque art in Europe, and is therefore known as the "museum of Romanesque art". It draws particular attention to the 14 Romanesque churches in the old town as well as the Cathedral. Within this romanesque heritage, we also count the castle surrounded by gardens (inside can be visited), medieval ramparts, the bridge, two palaces and nine houses.
