Zamora Cathedral's Architectural Marvel

Constructed in the 12th century, Zamora Cathedral is a testimony to Romanesque art and design. The cathedral stands out for its distinctive Byzantine-style dome set atop a square tower.

Founded by the Bishop of Zamora, it features the ornate Puerta del Obispo and houses the Museo Catedralicio, which showcases 15th-century Flemish tapestries. Highlights include the early-Renaissance choir stalls depicting clerics and lively scenes, as well as the Capilla de San Ildefonso, adorned with Gothic frescos.
