The cathedral of Zamora, dedicated to Salvador, is part of the so-called Duero Romanesque, distinguishing itself as the smallest and oldest of the eleven in the Community of Castilla y León.

Its plan is of a Latin cross with three naves of four sections, the lateral ones with a groin vault and the central one with a simple ribbed.

The three apses that it originally had were replaced by a Gothic chancel in the 16th century.

In the transept there is a dome with a 16-window drum on which rises a cupola of gallons lined with stone scales and supported by pendentives of clear Byzantine influence. It is the most striking, beautiful and original element of the temple, and a true symbol of the city.

Also noteworthy is the choir, which was built between 1512 and 1516 by Juan de Bruxelles. The choir stalls are notable for the abundance of themes of a profane nature: scenes based on fables, proverbs, sayings, mythology and also from everyday life.

On the left wall of the presbytery of the cathedral there is an epitaph, composed between 1620 and 1621 by Alonso de Remesal, in which it is stated that the infanta Sancha Raimúndez, daughter of Queen Urraca I of León and sister of Alfonso VII of Leon, was burial there.
