 Zamora is the capital
of the province of Zamora, lying in the northwest near the frontier
with Portugal and crossed by the Duero river. It is located around
24 miles north of Salamanca.
Zamora is a small city on the banks
of the river Duero with outstanding historical buildings. The
Puente de Piedra is a stone bridge from the 12th and 13th century
that crosses the river taking you into the city. From here you
can enjoy a magnificent view of the cathedral and the town walls.
The cathedral itself was built in the 12th century, its most
characteristic element is its dome.The castle is a fortress of
Arab origin which still preserves its Keep, gate and the moat.
On your way to the Plaza Mayor, through narrow cobbled streets,
you can admire a fine set of Romanesque churches, like those
of San Ildefonso, La Magdalena or San Cipriano. Vaults with Gothic
arches, apses and doorways decorated with plant motifs and the
oldest reliefs in the city are some of the jewels that you will
encounter in this lovely walk among the monuments.
