The oldest evidence indicates that the church was built in the mid-12th century, although work continued in the 13th century and lasted even until the 14th century.
The church stands out for its south doorway, which is the main one and is in perfect condition, flanked by two slender attached columns and three semicircular archivolts with elegant decoration. If you want to visit it or learn more about its history and architecture, I recommend consulting specialized sources or visiting its page on Románico Zamora for detailed information. I hope you enjoy your visit to this important historical monument! 🏰✨

The Romanesque church of San Juan de Puerta Nueva dates from the mid-12th century. In addition to the interesting south portal, it is also worth taking a look at the beautiful rose window on the south facade.
