Perhaps the bridge in Palencia with the best views, both on one side and the other of the river.

Calle Mayor is the main artery of the city. With its more than 900 meters in length, it constitutes the backbone of the capital, the social network most visited by the people of Palencia and the location of a good part of the civil heritage that the city treasures. It preserves the spirit and architecture of the bourgeoisie of the 19th and 20th centuries and is supported on one of its sides thanks to the 199 columns that flank it. At its northern end is the Post and Telegraph building, built in 1916 by Jacobo Romero, who also planned the construction of the Catholic-Agrarian Federation, current headquarters of Unicaja Banco. Between both places, there is another interesting space whose façade demands our attention. It is the Convent of the Agustinas Canónigas, which today houses the offices of the city council.

In 1895, the young municipal architect Juan Agapito y Revilla drew up the plans for the projection of this central market. That same year, on September 4, the first stone was laid for works that still had to wait three more years before opening to the public. Its innovative architecture, inspired by the use of materials such as cast iron or glass, represented a true revolution for the physiognomy of a city like Palencia. This popular square, which has a total of seventy stalls, has a rectangular floor plan and is a perfect showcase to discover some of the most emblematic products of the area's gastronomy. On its exterior, several series of tiles stand out that represent the trades that historically met in the Plaza.
