The Monastery of San Pablo de Zamora was located near the gates of San Pablo and Santa Clara, now disappeared. Its origin is in an old Romanesque church that was replaced by the new temple in the mid-sixteenth century. Those responsible for the design and execution of the project were Pedro de Ibarra and Pedro del Casar, who completed the work around 1568 (Ramos Monreal and Navarro Talegón, 1982). Just a few years later, in 1572, the community was already occupying the monastic enclosure. After the War of Independence the complex was subject to secularization, a process that led to the progressive deterioration of the property and the dispersion of its movable heritage (Pérez Martín and Vasallo Toranzo, 2016). At present there are no visible remains of the old monastery.
