We visited this during our recent trip to Zamora. It's free to enter, which always cheers me up, as I know that in the UK, a castle of this sort would cost you a few pounds to see. There's no leaflets in English and all the display boards are in Spanish. However, if you know castles, then it's reasonably easy to work out what's going on. The information boards are useful in identifying the various time periods when things were built.There's lots to scramble around and you can walk around some of the old ramparts and a couple of the towers. This gives great views over the Duero, the rest of the town and the cathedral (especially the cupola). There are also some original sculptures dotted around the grounds, which look rather nice.Worth going to, even if you have to use some imagination to picture what it could have looked like in its heyday. There are walkways around, so access would be reasonable, but not to the towers and ramparts.
De entrada gratuita, y con unas vistas maravillosas tanto de la catedral, como del duero ya que se encuentra en lo más alto de la ciudad, me deja una sensación muy agradable si bien podría estar mejor conservada y restaurada...
Por fuera resulta atractivo rodeado de un parque muy bonito, por dentro desconocido ya que fuimos a las 16:30 hora de apertura y estaba cerrado, la persona ocupada de su apertura estaba en un banco disfrutando de las vistas y de su compañía.¡ que siga así!
If you like history, here is the place to visit once in the north of Spain.
Si visitas Zamora apunta una parada más en tu ruta. La entrada al castillo es gratuita y lo podrás ver en 30~40 minutos incluyendo la parada en la parte más alta donde podrás disfrutar de las vistas.Si el tiempo acompaña, justo al lado están los jardines del castillo.
The castle is a ruin but now is more of a museum. You enter and buy a ticket then cross the moat and begin a self guided tour. Sign are in Spanish but you could imagine what you observed. It was outstanding. One of the best ruins of our trip. We do love archeology and interesting old buildings.
The castle looks nice amongst well-tended lawns, and its very photogenic, but that's about it.
Fortaleza muy bien conservada, entrada gratuita, y explicaciones muy elocuentes en los terminales puestos. Merece una visita
From the main tower great views on the cathedral. The castles itself is apart from the outside walls in ruins.
Good explanations in panels of what there was in the old days (some restoration done).The fact that the entrance is free, makes it a plus for this city.
