	Introduction
		The gravesite of the Castilian-Leonesic kings, representing an expansion in front of the western facade of the Fernando church, dates to Urraca of Zamora ( 1101), daughter of Sancha and Fernando.
		The Panteón de los reyes appears today as a nearly quadratic, two-story building that is subdivided into groined vault naves on the ground floor and spanned by a continuous vault on the upper floor.
		It is also a matter of debate whether the construction project can be ascribed to the successor and son of Fernando I, Alfonso VI (1065-1126, from 1072 King of Castile and León) or his sister Urraca of Zamora, who is the favored sponsor by the majority of researchers.
