Zamora Museum
About This Museum
You'd never guess that the heart of Zamora's history beats inside a building that started life as a hospital. It's a place where you can walk from a room of ancient Celtic stone boars straight into the glittering world of the Visigoths and their intricate jewelry. The story then unfolds through Moorish ceramics and right up to Renaissance masterpieces, all laid out around a beautiful cloister. It feels less like a museum and more like flipping through the very pages of this old city.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the haunting 'Treasure of Arrabalde', a stunning cache of Celtic gold, or the delicate Visigothic belt buckles that look like they were made yesterday. The collection of local Roman mosaics and the painted wooden coffered ceilings from the Moorish period are also real show-stoppers.
Visitor Information
Tucked away in the Santa Lucía square, it's a perfect, quiet escape from the sun. Best part? Entry is free for EU citizens, so you can pop in without a second thought.
Architecture & Building
The museum cleverly combines two historic structures: the elegant, Renaissance-style House of the Dukes of Zamora and the old Hospice of Santa María la Real, which gives it that serene, monastic feel with its central courtyard.
