Views from El Duero, ZAMORA

Art print. Zamora Cathedral seen from the Duero River.

The cathedral, dedicated to the Savior, is a prime example of the Duero Romanesque style, distinguished by being the smallest and oldest of the eleven cathedrals in the region. It was declared a National Monument in 1889. Its floor plan is in the shape of a Latin cross, with three naves of four bays each. The side aisles have groin vaults, while the central nave has a simple ribbed vault. The three apses it originally possessed were replaced by a Gothic chancel in the 16th century. At the crossing rises a lantern tower with a drum of 16 windows, above which rises a ribbed dome covered with stone scales and supported by pendentives of clear Byzantine influence.
