Cemetery of Zamora
The cemetery of Zamora is called “San Atilano” though the saint’s remains are no longer in Zamora, but are now in Tarazona.
In Zamora we can find a great representation of Romanesque Art with over twenty churches and a well-preserved historic centre.
The cemetery is huge, so you will need at least three hours to walk around it fully. Given its size, the cleanliness and the amount of fresh flowers that can be seen comes as a surprise.
You can see niches, columbarium, mausoleums and tombs, many of which are richly decorated with wrought iron railings both modern and ancient. As usual in the area granite is often used for headstones and sculptures.
