Built in the 16th century by Diego Beltrán, a nobleman and member of the Royal Council of the Indies, around 1528–1533, on a site previously used on Santiago Street. Its design is attributed to the royal architect Luis de Vega. From 1602 to 1604, it housed the Royal Chancery; later, it served as the residence of the Marquis of Ensenada during his exile. In 1916, it was acquired by the Marquises of Argüeso; in 1950, it passed into the hands of the State and was used as a vocational institute, currently functioning as an educational center.

Parish Church of Santiago el Real, in Medina del Campo. Medieval origins: a church dedicated to Saint James already existed in 1177, located on Santa Teresa Street. It was renovated in the 16th century and used until 1770. The current building was initially the church of the Jesuit novitiate dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. The first stone was laid in July 1553 by Saint Francis Borgia, and it was opened for worship around 1563. After the expulsion of the Jesuits, around 1770 it became the parish church of Saint James, retaining only the church from the original complex. It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest on January 18, 1968 (RI-51-0003793).

Also known as the Main Parish Church of San Antolín. The original parish dates back to 1177, founded by settlers from the north (Palencia) and dedicated to Saint Antolín. In 1480, the Catholic Monarchs obtained a papal bull from Pope Sixtus IV elevating its status to a collegiate church with a free abbey. Construction of the current church began in 1502 and continued into the 18th century, with prominent architects such as Juan Gil de Hontañón, Rodrigo Gil, and the Gutiérrez brothers. It lost its collegiate church status in 1851, becoming simply the main parish church.

This is a Renaissance building constructed in the 16th century. It was designed by Luis de Vega, who was the architect of Charles V. Importantly, the Marquis of Ensenada lived in exile and died in this building in December 1781.

Located a considerable distance from the city center, this imposing church stands like a solitary sentinel, its exposed brick structure very similar to the other local buildings, where part of the building is constructed of carved stone and the rest of the aforementioned exposed brick. Today we couldn't go inside because it was closed, but under normal circumstances it can be visited during the hours posted on the door.

This Gothic-style building began construction in 1503, although, as is often the case with such complex structures, it wasn't completed until almost two centuries later. It is a relatively large church, notable for the balcony of the Virgin of the People and the clock tower. The main entrance dates from the 18th century, while the side entrance is from the 16th.
