Spain Westbound ~ Zamora (Region) This ancient Romanesque temple was rebuilt in the 16th century and consists of a nave and two interconnected double chapels. Notable features include the Gothic rib vaulting and the Baroque and Renaissance altarpieces that decorate its interior, such as the Altarpiece of San Andrés, the altarpiece of the Church of Sotelo, and, most importantly, the Tomb of Don Antonio Sotelo, a work made of alabaster created at the end of the 16th century by Pompeio Leoni, who invoked the dead through a series of religious decorations. Next to the San Andrés Church stands an 18th-century seminary building. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León

Spain Westward ~ Zamora (Region) This is the largest and most extensive church in the city after the Cathedral. Built in the 11th century on the site of the old Church of St. Leocadia, the building has been continuously expanded and renovated, bringing together a variety of architectural styles. The church originally had three naves, but was enlarged and remodeled in the late 15th century, leaving only one nave, topped by a slender pointed vault. In the early 18th century, Joaquín Churriguera remodeled the tower and built the west entrance. Another treasure was found in the sacristy: a magnificent 16th-century Flemish triptych, a gift from King Charles I during his visit to Zamora in 1522. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León

Westward in Spain ~ Zamora (region) The Temple of Las Batallas is located on the outskirts of the city, standing in a pine forest by the Duero River. It features the characteristic design of Romanesque-Mudejar architecture. It is built of exposed bricks, with a nave and a semicircular apse, followed by a straight section. The roof of the nave is a traditional gabled roof, while the rest is covered with vaults. The surrounding exterior and interior are decorated with classic enclosed semicircular arcades, which in this case are designed as double arcades, making them highly stylized. It has two entrances, both with pointed arched doors topped with pediments. Highlights of the interior include late 15th-century murals decorating the walls of the apse.
