Although it was never a palatial castle but a fortress in which to protect itself and the city, it is the element that best defines the history of Zamora, receiving, in addition, the maximum protection within the Spanish Historical Heritage in 1931.
According to the chronicles, it was ordered to be built by Alfonso II, although studies carried out by historians show that it would actually be ordered to be built by Fernando I, so the building would date from the mid-11th century, although very few remains remain from this period.

Dating from the middle of the 11th century and built on the irregular shape of the land, the spectacular castle of Zamora protects the city from the top of the hill. Like any self-respecting castle, it has a moat, a sub-moat, rooms, a list and a lower patio, although, above all, the keep and the moat stand out. After four years of reforms, in 2009, under a project carried out by the Zamora City Council, the castle was able to open its doors to the public. Without a doubt, a must visit if we are in Zamora.

Although it is somewhat overshadowed by the cathedral from a tourist point of view, a visit to the impressive castle complex is still recommended.
