Declared a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) on December 7, 1983, this church is located in the heart of Tordesillas (Valladolid), one of the town's most iconic landmarks and the largest in the entire municipality. It is believed to have been built on the site of the former Tordesillas mosque. The main construction took place between the 16th and 17th centuries, with additions continuing into the 18th century. The church combines Gothic elements (the apse and the lower sections of the tower) with Neoclassical renovations inspired by El Escorial. Today, it serves as the headquarters for several Holy Week brotherhoods, housing processional floats such as the Virgin of Solitude and the Christ of Mercy.

The building, constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries, began in the Gothic style and finished in the Neoclassical. Another striking feature is its tower, the tallest in the city. The Baroque-era organ is considered one of the finest in the region, both for its design and its state of preservation.

It is an architectural gem. Currently you cannot pass through it because it is under construction, you have to go over the previous bridge.

It was built in the 15th century by the Vivero family, nobles of Galician origin, as a stately residence. The castle is modeled after the Valladolid school and was conceived more as a residence than as a military fortress. Throughout its history, it has had various palatial uses and was also the headquarters of the Cortes of Castilla y León. Currently, it has been restored and converted into a medieval museum. This castle, which was the headquarters of the Cortes of Castilla y León between 1983 and 2007, is property of the Provincial Council of Valladolid and is currently used as an interpretation center for the castles. 🏰🌟

The Monastery of Santa María de la Armedilla was a monastery of the Order of San Jerónimo, today in ruins, located about 3.8 kilometers from Cogeces del Monte. The monastery was founded after the chance discovery by shepherds of an image of the Virgin Mary in a cave excavated in the rock. This gave rise to a Marian cult in the place and the construction of the monastery. The proximity of quarries and plasterworks in the area facilitated its construction, as well as the water supply. 🏰🌿
