We continue to Zamora, a city of great importance in medieval times. This can be seen in its city walls, palaces and churches. One of Zamora treasures is the dome of the Cathedral of Zamora - a Byzantine-style cantilevered dome decorated with stone ‘scales’ built in the 12th century, while the accompanying Romanesque tower dates from the 13th. Near Plaza Mayor square, you can admire some fine Romanesque churches, like those of Santiago el Burgo, La Magdalena or San Cipriano, as you stroll through the narrow, cobbled streets. Afterwards we make our way to Leon to pay a visit to the Key attractions - León Cathedral, famed for its stunning Gothic architecture and magnificent stained-glass windows, and the Basilica of San Isidoro, known for its Romanesque frescoes and royal pantheon. The “Pulcra Leonina”, one of the most striking Gothic temples in Spain, stands on the site of an old Roman baths and a Romanesque church.
