Zamora - Day 20 - Supplemental - May 4, 2012


 
According to wiki:   Zamora (Spanish pronunciation: [θamo'ɾa]) is a city in Castile and León, Spain, the capital of the province of Zamora. It lies on a rocky hill in the northwest, near the frontier with Portugal and crossed by the Duero river, which is some 50 km downstream as it reaches the Portuguese frontier. With its 24 characteristic Romanesque style churches of the 12th and 13th centuries it has been called a "museum of Romanesque art". Zamora is the city with the most Romanesque churches in all of Europe.

No surprise with 24 churches in town that the Albergue would be in a church.
