Museo de Zamora
A provincial museum made up of the 16th-century Palacio del Cordón and an award-winning modern building, presenting archaeological and art collections from prehistory to the modern era.
The Museo de Zamora sits in the centre of the old town and combines the 16th-century Palacio del Cordón with a modern gallery designed by architects Mansilla and Tuñón, whose new building has won several awards. Exhibits are arranged chronologically and include prehistoric stone tools from the province, Celtic bronzes, Roman mosaics and silver hoards, and Visigothic and medieval artefacts. Upstairs are paintings and sculptures. The museum is not large, and a visit takes about an hour. Admission is about €1.20, it is free during some weekend periods, and it is closed on Mondays.
