A mixture of Romanesque and Gothic styles

Spain, westwards ~ Zamora (region) The church was built in the 12th-13th century. Its combination of Romanesque and Gothic styles makes it particularly attractive. Construction of the collegiate church began in 1160 during the reign of Alfonso VIII, but was not completed until the end of the 13th century. It has three naves with an ornate lantern above the crossing. The north gate is also eye-catching, with a sculpture of the ancient Apocalypse on one of the arches. The West Gate, also known as His Majesty's Gate, has an unusual, richly decorated Gothic porch. The combination of Romanesque and Gothic styles makes the church particularly eye-catching. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León
