San Pedro de la Nave

Leave Zamora on N 122, going west, and in 12km/7.5mi, after Venta del Puerto, turn right into a minor road which goes northwest to Campillo, on an artificial lake on the Río Esla. Here can be seen the Visigothic church of San Pedro de la Nave, re-erected in 1931 after being removed from its original site several kilometers away, now submerged by the lake. The church, which is thought to date from around 681, is notable for its magnificent carved capitals, which rank among the finest sculpture produced in Christian Spain before the arrival of the Moors.
