Parador de Zamora
A Renaissance palace in the city of Romanesque architecture
The former palace of the Counts of Alba de Aliste is today home to the Parador de Zamora. A beautiful 15th century Renaissance palace built in the centre of the city. Although the building has a military appearance its interior design is full of sophisticated effects. One highlight is the magnificent Renaissance courtyard with a glazed wooden gallery and heraldic coats of arms. The decoration is in the medieval style, as shown by the armour, the noble tapestries and the canopied beds. The Parador completes its offer with two convention rooms, a refreshing swimming pool and an excellent cuisine in its restaurant.
The central location of the Parador de Zamora allows you to comfortably tour the historic centre of Zamora discovering all the beauty of the natural, monumental and artistic environment of the area. Highlights include the castle, the cathedral and its cupola, the convent of Las Dueñas with a delicate modernism touch and Romanesque art in many of its buildings and museums. The river Duero allows boat trips from which you can contemplate the spectacular canyons of the Arribes del Duero. What´s more, in this Natural Park, with its great scenic beauty, you can hike and do other outdoor activities.
