Holy Week in Zamora
Easter is the most important social and religious event in the city. The city in full participates with fervor and austerity of this feeling, which reaches several very intense moments throughout the ten days in which the city is immersed in its processions. Seventeen are the brotherhoods that, from Dolores Friday to Easter Sunday, turn the streets of the city into a living museum that feels the passion, death and resurrection of Christ, representing it with its more than 40 steps.
Easter, which dates back to the 13th century, is one of the oldest and most prestigious in Spain. Declared of International Tourist Interest in 1986. In 2015 the Junta de Castilla y León, with the supervision of the Ministry of Culture of the Government of Spain, declared it a Site of Cultural Interest, making it the first Holy Week in Spain to display this declaration. Zamora is the only city in Spain that has a Museum of Holy Week, worthy of contemplation, in which most of the Steps that parade at Easter are kept.
