Cuéllar Castle, also known as the Castle-Palace of the Dukes of Alburquerque, is one of the town's most iconic monuments and has a rich history spanning several centuries. Construction of the castle began in the 11th century and was completed in the 17th century. Over the centuries, it has been expanded and renovated in various architectural styles, including Gothic and Renaissance. Its historical owners include Álvaro de Luna and Beltrán de la Cueva, as well as successive Dukes of Alburquerque. Currently, the castle houses the Cuéllar Tourist Office, and guided and dramatized tours are offered on weekends.

Church of Santiago Apostle (Alcazarén) Chapel of the Virgin of Carmen. It preserves some of the most interesting Romanesque-Mudejar remains in southern Valladolid, dating back to the very late 13th century. These are the two Mudéjar churches: the Iglesia de Santiago Apóstol, declared an asset of cultural interest, and San Pedro. The church of San Pedro has a scale model in the Mudéjar de Olmedo theme park. Currently only the Church of Santiago Apóstol is open for worship, as the church of San Pedro is used for cultural purposes, such as theatrical performances or summer shows. The latter remained in ruins for many years. It recently underwent restoration work which preserved the apse and the tower. It is one of the most important medieval monuments in the province of Valladolid, given its originality and size.

Windmills, like El Cubo, have been a hallmark of the region for centuries. Although their use today is not as widespread as in the past, they remain a reminder of traditional wind energy and engineering. The source of energy in a windmill is the wind itself, and it is used to grind grain, pump water, and perform other tasks. If you ever visit Cuéllar, don't hesitate to explore this historic mill and take in its beauty and functionality. 🌬️🏰

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. 🏰🌿
