Take advantage of the Paradores offers
Zamora is known as the city of Romanesque architecture. In its historic centre there are as many as 23 temples and 14 churches, a fact that places Zamora as the city with the highest number and quality of Romanesque temples in Europe. Its main historical monuments include the Cathedral, the Castle, the walls, its bridges and stately homes, and the set of modernist buildings. Another building of great interest is the palace of the Counts of Alba de Aliste, now the site of the Parador de Zafra. A Renaissance jewel in the Romanesque city, which contains most beautiful humanist courtyards of the Spanish Renaissance.
Its tourist attractions also include museums. The most notable ones are the Holy Week Museum, the Ethnographic Museum of Castilla y León (which is unique in Europe), and the Museum of Baltasar Lobo, a local contemporary sculptor and friend of Picasso.
