Zamora - Old city - Balborraz street

            Calle (street) Balborraz links Zamora's Old Town with the "Juderia" (Jewish quarter). It starts off from Zamora's Plaza Mayor and slopes down to the Duero river.

Its name originates from the Arab "bab al ras", wich means door of the head. There used to be a door at the entrance of the street with a sculpture of the head of Ahmed-ben-Moavia ,also know as Abul Kasin , the city's Arab leader before the Christian Reconquest.
The door was destroyed in 1555 because it was threatening to collapse.

Calle Balborraz is one of the oldest streets of Zamora, and such some of the most important processions go throught it during the Semana Santa (Easter). Nowasays most of the buildings date from the 19th and first half of 20th centuries, with a few examples of modernist architecture.
