The Plaza Mayor in Berlanga de Duero is a great example of popular Castilian architecture. The houses that flank it have wooden pillars resting on reddish stones characteristic of Soria.

A good example of Castilian architecture. All of it is porticoed with wooden pillars that rest on a stone base.
The beams, also made of dark wood, the balconies and the color of the walls, which recall the reddish Soria soil, give it a singular beauty, which is repeated in several of the noble streets that arise from it, where you can see some emblazoned mansions.

In the last of the reforms of its pavement, archaeological remains were found, among them burials of medieval origin from an old convent. In this regard, we will point out that near the castle, in its eastern part, there are 21 rock tombs from the 10th century, probably the necropolis of the old castle.

In the Plaza Mayor is the rebuilt municipal council, with flagstone in the lower section and brick in the upper section; There are also several commercial establishments.

Various streets lead from this agora, each more interesting, such as the one that goes down to Hoz del Escalote, or Calle Real, with two emblazoned palatial houses, and near the latter the adobe houses stand out, so conspicuous in the old Jewish quarter, with its streets of Yubería Alta and Baja.

The arcades remain in various sections of various streets, and you can even see a brick building on the first floor, supported on thick juniper beams.
There are numerous bars and restaurants, and nearby grocery stores where you can buy supplies. Fountain in the Collegiate square
