The Zamora Castle is one of the oldest fortresses of the Reconquist with its origins dating back to the eleventh century under the reign of Fernando I de León. Located at the highest point of the city, this defensive beacon was part of the muffled belt that protected the town from the siege and earned its name as "La Bueno Cercada."
What to see at Zamora Castle?
Following an ambitious restoration, today's complex is a cultural space with public access. The most outstanding elements that you can visit are:
The Courtyard of Arms: A spacious space that today holds exhibitions of contemporary art.
The Tower of Homage: The most imposing structure, from where the defense of the city was coordinated.
The Fist and the Walls: A perimetral tour that offers a unique perspective of medieval military engineering.
The Baltasar Lobo Museum: The complex includes works by the famous Zamanian sculptor and a blend of medieval history with modern art.
The Mirador about Cathedral and Duero
One of the best attractions of the castle are its panoramic views. From high up his adarves or walking through his walls, you get the best view of the sky of Zamora Cathedral and a privileged perspective of the Vegas del Duero. It's an ideal place to understand the strategic direction of the old town.
